Strides4CJD Brownton was started in 2020. We strive to educate and bring awareness of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, especially through the Strides4CJD walk event.
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) is a rare, fatal brain disorder within a group of illnesses called prion diseases. The incidence of CJD cases worldwide is one to two cases, per million individuals per year. In the United States this statistic translates to nearly 500 new cases per year. Eighty-five percent of CJD cases are sporadic, meaning there is no known cause at present.
This year our Brownton event is scheduled for Saturday, October 03, 2026 in Brownton. Activities planned include a candlelight tribute, breakfast, silent auction, games, crafts and the Strides4CJD walk/run all to take place or start from the Brownton Community Center.
We sincerely appreciate your support!
