Honoring Gary William Adams

This fundraising team was established to honor the memory of Gary William Adams. Gary passed away on the 29th of June 2023, on his 64th birthday, after being diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), a rare and degenerative neurological disorder. He was a dearly beloved husband of Jean, a caring and supportive father of Ben (and his wife Katie), Zac (and his wife Corrina), and Jake (and his wife Alex), and a fun and caring grandad and grandpa to Leo and Jack. He will be loved and missed forever.

To honor Gary's memory and raise awareness about CJD, we are participating in Strides for CJD for the second year in a row. This event is crucial for funding research and providing support to families affected by this devastating disease.

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.
