Scott Gossett was a bright soul whose smile lit up every room he entered. He
loved anything sports related and greatly looked forward to time spent with family
and friends. He enjoyed staying busy and was a jack-of-all trades.
After experiencing some symptoms in early 2023, Scott received a diagnosis of
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) that summer. In October 2023, our lives
changed forever when we lost him to this rare, degenerative brain disorder.
CJD is a fast-moving, aggressive disease. Watching someone so full of life be
taken from us so quickly was devastating. Because there is currently no
treatment or cure, we want to ensure other families have the support they need
during their darkest days.
Our team, Strides for Scott, was formed in 2023 to honor his legacy, and we
continue to walk to keep his spirit alive for the annual Strides for CJD walk/run.
Strides for CJD raises critical awareness and funds for the highly-rated CJD
Foundation. By supporting our team, you are directly helping families navigate
this devastating diagnosis and funding vital research towards treatments and a
cure.
Together we can make a difference and bring hope to those affected by CJD.
Whether you can join our team, make a donation, or simply share our page, your
support means everything to our family. Thank you for helping us honor Scott.
