The Harris Lab Fundraising Page

Biochemistry and Cell Biology Department | Boston University

The Harris Lab is once again participating in Strides for CJD on October 11th to help find a cure for Creutzfeldt Jakob disease inside and outside of the lab. We enjoyed connecting with patients and their families who have been affected by this genetic prion disease last year and are looking forward to another wonderful event!

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.
