Support Team Bernie

My mom was diagnosed with a fatal prion disease on Thursday, August 1. Her decline was rapid. The disease hit us like a freight train and she died 11 days later. 

Our family will be joining others impacted by CJD on Saturday, September 28 to raise funds and awareness of this disease.

If you're interested in making a difference, please consider a donation. A cure for prion disease is possible in our lifetime, but resources are needed. In addition to working toward a cure, The CJD Foundation is also pivotal in helping families navigate managing the disease and supporting those impacted. 

Any amount will help and directly benefit those suffering from CJD.

Thank you for your love and support,  

Lauren 

P.S. If you'd rather give your time, feel free to join "Team Bernie" and walk with us! Note that it is a walk vs. a race. I'm bringing my stroller, two kids, and a giant hot coffee. All are welcome!

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.
