Striding in honor of Gary William Adams

This fundraising team was established to honor the memory of my father-in-law, Gary William Adams. Gary 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 Jean, a caring and supportive father to my husband Zac, and his 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 Gary'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 Gary's spirit alive and contributing to a cause that is very close to our hearts.

About Strides for CJD

Strides for CJD is an annual walk/run to raise awareness of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), a rare neurodegenerative disease that has no treatment or cure. Through this event, anyone -- anywhere -- can pay tribute to their loved ones and raise funds for the CJD Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization.

Funds raised support our programs including:

  • Research grants to help scientists make important discoveries and bring us closer to a cure.
  • Medical education to help raise awareness and understanding of prion disease.
