Smitty's for Stacey Fundraising Page

Stacey (Smith) Bouse lived a life filled with love, dedication, generosity, and service. Just 84 days after the first suspicious symptoms appeared, Stacey died on January 1, 2025 from CJD—a rapid degenerative brain disease with no current treatment or cure. She was just 45 years old. 

Please join us in raising money to find a cure for the disease that took her too soon.

 

Stacey was so many things...  funny, brilliant, loving mom and wife, math nerd, dedicated volunteer, runner ...  But she was also Jeff's only sister, who he loved sooooo much.  Stacey was taken from us way too soon by a horrible disease that needs to be cured.  Please help us.

By contributing to our fundraising efforts, you're making a direct impact on research, advocacy, and family support. The CJD Foundation is highly rated charity and the annual Strides for CJD event is the major funding source for the Foundation and is growing in impact every year.

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.
