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.
