Our Team Fundraising Page

We walk in honor of our beloved Sivaprasad, who passed away from Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) earlier this year. Though his time with us was far too short, his love, kindness, and spirit continue to live on in everyone who knew him.

CJD is a rare, rapidly progressive brain disease, and raising awareness is essential to finding answers, supporting families, and funding research. By joining together, we honor his memory and take steps toward a future with more understanding, hope, and one day, a cure.

Please consider walking with us or donating in his honor. Every step, every gift, and every shared story brings us closer to making a difference.

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.
