Our Team Fundraising Page

It's been 18 years since we lost Patrick Yobs to prion disease.  Throughout his illness, his mission was to find a diagnosis and to fight for a cure.  Today we continue that battle in his memory.  Please support our Strides for CJD team to help the CJD Foundation to support and advocate for patients and families, offer medical education, and provide research grants to find a cure.  Thank you for your support!

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.
