My Personal Fundraising Page

Gerald Anthony Plot was a man of many titles, but to me he was my father. Son, husband, father, brother and friend, Gerald was a Veteran of the Navy, Border Patrol, ATF and private investigator. He was a Proud Puerto Rican Man, and Miami Dolphins fan since before I was born. A fisherman and lover of his animals. My dad started showing symptoms which we thought would be early onset alzheimers, in early february of 2025. He had several hospital visits after falling over, slight memory loss, and falling asleep while driving. He was diagnosed in early April with CJD. He was given 8 months life expectancy, later passing on June 28, 2025 in Texas. This devastating and rare disease needs more light and more research.

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.
