Our Team Fundraising Page

Team Girolamo was established in 2017 when we learned that CJD is genetic in our family. We have lost four beloved family members to CJD, Francesco, Sibby, Frank and just this July, Janice. We walk in memory of them and to fight for a cure so that no family ever has to go through the pain of losing a loved one to this horrific disease.

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.
