Our Team Fundraising Page

We want to share just how important the CJD Foundation was to our family during Natalie’s journey with sCJD. Before her diagnosis, we had never heard of CJD, and many of our friends and family didn’t know what it was either.

Right after receiving the call that would forever change our family, we reached out to the CJD Foundation late at night, and someone called us back within 30 minutes. That responsiveness—and their genuine willingness to help in any way they could—made such a difference as we navigated Natalie’s journey. From firsthand experience, we can say the CJD Foundation was, and continues to be, an instrumental part of our lifelong connection to CJD.

If you are able, please consider supporting TeamNattieCJD through Strides4CJD. Your contribution helps advance research toward a cure and provides vital support to families affected by this devastating terminal disease.

A few important details:

• If TeamNattieCJD raises $1,000 by August 19, Natalie’s name will be included on the event T-shirts received by registered participants.

• If you register and donate by August 19, you will receive a T-shirt included with your registration.

• We will also be organizing a local Henderson/Las Vegas walk sometime in October—please watch for an update.

• We are deeply grateful to everyone who continues to remember us, and especially to remember Natalie.

With a grateful heart, thank you for any support you can offer.

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.
