In Memory of John Tsoukatos

In memory of my husband, John, I am raising funds for the CJD Foundation and participating in Strides for CJD. Losing John to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease changed our family forever, and I hope that by supporting this cause we can help fund research, raise awareness, and support other families facing this devastating disease.

John meant so much to our family and to everyone who knew him. He was generous, dependable, and always showed up for the people he loved. Walking in his memory is one small way we can continue to honor the life he lived and the impact he had on all of us.

Any donation, no matter the amount, means a great deal to our family. Thank you for helping us honor John and support the fight against CJD.

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.
