In Memory of Cara Pino

In honor of my sister, Cara's 53rd birthday, I'm striding for awareness and a cure for CJD. As you may know, my sister had CJD, a rare neurodegenerative disease that has no treatment or cure. Each year, Strides for CJD raises money for medical education and research to one day find a cure.

I would love if you can support me and The CJD Foundation by considering a donation, now through September 3rd, to help those who are and will be affected by this rare disease. 

All proceeds will support the CJD Foundation’s General Fund, which supports medical education, family support, and research programs.

The CJD Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization (Federal EIN: 65‐0404623). Your gift is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. If your employer matches donations, please consider requesting a match to complement your personal contribution.
