Honoring Jeff
As I lace up my shoes for another year of Strides for CJD, I carry a heart full of emotion.
I walk in memory of my beloved Jeff, whose life was cut short by Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD). Their absence is a daily reminder of how devastating this rare disease can be—but also why we must keep fighting.
Though my heart aches, I also walk with hope. Hope for better understanding, earlier diagnoses, and one day—a cure.
Please join me in honoring Jeff by supporting the vital work of the CJD Foundation. Your donation helps fund research, support families, and raise awareness about this cruel and fast-moving illness.

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.
