Mark's story

My brother, Mark, was a caring and fun loving man who became a dad at 52. He had two awesome sons, Blake and Evan. Sadly, he passed away from CJD when his kids were still really young, just 1 and 3. Now, Blake (11), Evan (9), their mom Charise, and I are raising funds to find a cure for the disease in his memory. We’re hopeful that our efforts will make a difference and help find a cure, so other families won't have to go through the same pain. Please consider helping us in this fight. If you are able, any amount donated will help us reach our goal! THANK YOU!

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.
