This fundraising team was established to honor the memory of my father, Gary William Adams. Dad passed away on the 29th of June 2023, on his 64th birthday, after being diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), a rare and degenerative neurological disorder. He was a dearly beloved husband to my mom, Jean, a caring and supportive father to me and my brothers, Ben (and his wife Katie) and Jake (and his wife Alex), and a fun and caring grandad to his grandchildren, Leo and Jack. He will be loved and missed forever.

To honor my father's memory and raise awareness about CJD, we are participating in Strides for CJD for the second year in a row. This event is crucial for funding research and providing support to families affected by this devastating disease. Participating in this event is our way of keeping Dad's spirit alive and contributing to a cause that is very close to our hearts.
