The Jerry Yaffa Story
To my valued friends, family, and customers,
I'm once again leading a team in honor of my father, Jerry Yaffa, for the Strides for CJD events this October.
Twenty years ago, my father passed away from Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), a rare and devastating neurodegenerative disorder. Though time has passed, the fight for a cure remains a priority.
I am now the chairman of the CJD Foundation, which tirelessly supports families, funds research, and advocates for progress. Our collective efforts are making a real difference.
I invite you to join our team, either as a participant or a fundraiser, or to simply donate. Every contribution honors my father's memory and helps us move closer to a world without CJD.
Here is my fundraising page: Team Jerry Yaffa
Please feel free to reach out to me at syaffa@xtechs.com if you have any questions or need more information.

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.
