Walking in Memory of Stacey Bouse Honoring a Beautiful Life & Fighting Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD)

On October 10, 2026, I will be participating in a charity walk for Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD).

I am walking with a heavy heart, but also with a fierce determination to honor the beautiful life of my daughter-in-law, Stacey Bouse.

CJD is a rare, aggressive, and devastating neurodegenerative disease that takes our loved ones far too soon. It took Stacey from us at the tragically early age of 45. She was a vibrant, loving presence in our family, and she leaves behind our son Adam, and her three beautiful sons who now have to navigate the world without their mother.

Watching someone you love face CJD is an experience that changes a family forever. By participating in this walk, I want to channel our grief into action—raising both vital awareness for this rare disease and crucial funds to support other families and search for a cure.

MY FUNDRAISING GOAL

$500

100% of proceeds go directly toward CJD research, medical education, and support networks.

How You Can Help

Donate: Any amount, big or small, makes a tangible difference and brings us one step closer to a cure. 

Join: Join in on the walk, sign up as a participant. 

Share: Even if you cannot donate at this time, please share this page with your network to help raise awareness about CJD.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love, support, and generosity as we walk to keep
