A cause that means so much to me!

Thank you for taking a moment to open and read this message.

Once again, I am raising funds for a cause that is deeply personal to me, the CJD Foundation. This is my way of giving back, creating awareness, and helping other families who are facing this devastating disease.

Last year, thanks to the incredible generosity of so many people, our fundraising efforts were among the strongest in the country. Those contributions helped support critical research, advocate for increased awareness and funding, and, most importantly, provide assistance and support to families affected by CJD.

There are few things more heartbreaking than watching someone you love suffer from this devastating disease. I know firsthand how helpless it can make a family feel. That experience is why this mission continues to mean so much to me.

And we are making a difference!

There has been meaningful progress in CJD research and awareness. Diagnostic testing has improved significantly, researchers continue to gain a better understanding of the disease, and pharmaceutical companies and scientists are actively pursuing potential treatments and preventive approaches.

For a disease that once seemed to offer very little hope, the progress being made today gives us reason to keep fighting.

If you are able, please click the link below to learn more and consider making a contribution. Every donation, regardless of size, helps us continue this important work.

Thank you for your time, your generosity, and your support. It truly means more than you know.

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.
