Cathy Green’s story lives in every step we take. She was a beautiful soul full of warmth, laughter, and love and losing her to CJD changed all of us forever. This disease moves quietly and quickly, leaving families searching for answers and time they don’t have. We walk for Cathy, to honor her life and the impact she had on all of us, but also with a deeper purpose to raise awareness, to support research, and to fight for a cure. Cathy deserved more time, more answers, and more hope. By sharing her story, we stand together in love and determination, believing that one day no family will have to endure the heartbreak of CJD.
