In loving memory of our mom, Aura Lee, who passed from CJD in 2019. She was selfless, warm, and the true epitome of a loving mother. It’s hard to understand how someone who spent her life caring for others could be affected by such a rare and cruel disease.
We walk in the Strides for CJD event to honor her and all those affected by this devastating disease. We are deeply grateful to the scientists, doctors, and researchers whose dedication brings hope for greater understanding and better treatments.
We miss and love you, Mom.
