Walking for Eric!

I lost my love

To a disease I had never heard of

CJD

We had a month

But even that was not enough

Lost his ability to be himself

Quickly and without mercy

No more talks, no more hikes, no more family dinners

 

He was full of life

Made people laugh

Told incredible stories

Wrote songs

Bared his soul with his lyrics

He cared deeply

Loved unconditionally

 

CJD Foundation

The heroes doing the work

The scientists working to find a cure

The person who picks up the phone in the middle of the night

To guide you through the unknown

The landmines that come from caring for someone with CJD

 

October 6th

I walk for Eric

And the countless others who have lost their lives

I walk for the CJD Foundation

So, one day we can say no more!

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:

  • Our 24/7 helpline, support groups, conference, and other family programs throughout the year.
  • 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.
