Fit, Fun, and Fabulous Doug PJ

Dear friends, family, and colleagues –

In 2021, our beloved Doug Paddon-Jones passed away from an atrocious brain disease called Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD). Doug would want us to help find a cure for CJD, solve the mystery, and ensure that no other family endures the pain of seeing a loved one affected by this disease. 

Even though we are spread out across the world this year, we'd like to celebrate Doug and support the Strides for CJD mission. The Chicago event takes place on October 5, 2025, and we hope that you will join us from wherever you are!

Thank you for your contributions, your empathy, and your love.

The Paddon-Jones Family

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.
