In July 2025, Lynette F. McDonagh passed away after a brief battle with CJD. We walk to honor her memory, raise awareness of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, and support the Foundation’s mission to help families, promote education, and advance research on Prion Disease.  Lynette was a dedicated volunteer and community leader who made a real difference in others’ lives. She faced challenges with determination and inspired those around her with her resilience and spirit.

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.
