Honoring Gary William Adams

This fundraising team was established to honor the memory of Gary William Adams. Gary passed away on the 29th of June 2023, on his 64th birthday, after being diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), a rare and degenerative neurological disorder. He was a dearly beloved husband of Jean, a caring and supportive father of Ben (and his wife Katie), Zac (and his wife Corrina), and Jake (and his wife Alex), and a fun and caring grandad and grandpa to Leo and Jack. He will be loved and missed forever.

To honor Gary's memory and raise awareness about CJD, we are participating in Strides for CJD for the second year in a row. This event is crucial for funding research and providing support to families affected by this devastating disease.
