Our Team Fundraising Page

Nathan has been gone for 4 years, but we really lost him 9 months before that when he began to exhibit symptoms of CJD.  Of course, we had never heard of CJD at the time.  Nathan was truly a good man, son, husband, father, grandfather and brother.  His loss has been devestating for all who loved him, but we have converted our grief into a passion for eradicating this hideous disease.

The CJD Foundation is the singular resource for families and thier medical teams who are facing the overwhelming symptoms of a disease which is totally novel.  It also supports research toward a cure.  When you donate to this organization, you can be assured that those who are involved have a personal commitment to see that others never suffer their experiences.  

Thank you for any help you can give toward these efforts.  May God bless you and your families.

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.
