In the fall of 2022, my stepdad Bill started to have strange neurological symptoms. Doctors weren't sure what was going on, symptoms got worse, and he passed away in February 2023, just 3 months after symptoms started and without a certain diagnosis. We later found out that he had had CJD, a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disease for which there is no cure and currently no therapies. I am joining Strides for CJD this fall and fundraising for the CJD Foundation in his honor. Hopefully we will have a cure in the future and other families will not have to go through this. It's even more important to fundraise in recent years as funding for the foundation and research is in danger of being cut. We miss Bill every day. Please consider donating. Thank you!!
