Koko Krew

Walking, talking, and fundraising in loving memory of Karen ‘Koko’ Yoder.

Thank You for Your Support!

In 2023, Karen 'Koko' Yoder went to Heaven and stopped suffering from CJD - a rare disease with an unknown cause and no cure. She is so deeply missed, loved, and cared for. Caring for her throughout her disease - we pray that a cure is found and others will not experience CJD.

We are thankful that The CJD Foundation is dedicated to researching and supporting those impacted. 

It's fitting that CJD is branded with the color purple, Koko's favorite. She probably prefers we do a bike ride over a walk - but we will get ice cream after either way, just as she'd want us to.

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.
