Lesa's Legacy

Each year we stride to honor a beloved daughter, mother, grandmother, and friend, Lesa Anne Curtis. Lesa was taken by sporadic CJD on June 28, 2016 at the age of 52, however, her legacy continues on with the fight to find a cure one day so no other families have to suffer the loss of their loved one to this horrific disease. 

Please join us this year as we continue to help rasie awareness and provide hope to other families that are still fighting this disease today.

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.
