Do it for Dana

 ?

Dana Johnson was just 50 years old when she was diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) on November 8th. She passed away just 39 days later, on December 17th.

Dana’s love for her family and friends wasn’t just top notch — it was a notch above Raymond. And we all know EVERYBODY loves Raymond.

Join us on October 4th at 9 a.m. in Seward Park for Strides for CJD, a family-friendly walk to honor Dana’s memory and raise awareness for this devastating disease.

All proceeds from Team Dana benefit the CJD Foundation to fund life-saving research and family support.

Walk. Donate. Sponsor. Share.
Help us fight CJD. Help us honor Dana.

We're not just walking; we're making history!

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.
