Our Team Fundraising Page

On March 1, 2022, we lost an incredible woman to CJD. She was more than just a mother, wife, sister, aunt, and Mimi—she was a bright light in all our lives. Full of joy, positivity, and a love for helping others, she had a way of making every moment memorable and meaningful.

 

She leaves behind three daughters and a husband who cherish her memory every day. She loved to have a good time, lift the spirits of everyone around her, and always looked on the bright side, no matter the challenge.

 

We are running in this fundraiser to honor her legacy and to help fight CJD so that other families don’t have to experience the heartbreak we did. Every step we take is a tribute to her laughter, her kindness, and the beautiful impact she made on everyone who knew her.

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.
