Strides 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.
There are so many things you should know about Stacey. She was a dedicated runner, completing her fifth marathon just weeks before the symptoms of CJD began. She was a math whiz and completed her certification to be a financial planner just days before her symptoms began.
Above all, being a mom was her greatest joy. Stacey's commitment to her community was inspiring. She faithfully served at the local soup kitchen and YWCA, was deeply involved in fundraising efforts for the Walk to End Alzheimer's, and served on the school PTO board.
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.
