For Bill Wright

William “Bill” Wright is forever in our hearts, will always be remembered, and greatly missed. At 65 years old in November of 2024, Bill passed away just a week after being diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. He loved life whole heartedly. He loved cars, he loved being outside, he loved gardening, and he loved doing projects around his house. He loved to smile and he loved to laugh. He loved his family and his pets. We all loved him very much and always will. In memory of Bill we walk in hope to raise money and bring awareness to CJD.

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.
