We walk today in honor of Steve, and in memory of all the men and women who have been affected by this horrible illness.
Steve was a husband, a father, a brother, a son, a musician, and someone who was deeply loved. In a matter of months, our lives changed in ways we never could have imagined. We watched a man we loved become increasingly sick, lose his ability to walk, and ultimately lose his life to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD).
There is so much we wish we could have changed for Steve. But we can’t change the outcome of his story.
What we can do is walk. We can raise awareness. We can support research. And hopefully, we can help change someone else’s story.
Every mile we walk is for Steve. Every step is for the families who have had to watch someone they love suffer from this devastating disease. And every dollar raised brings us a little closer to better answers, earlier diagnosis, and someday, a cure.
We are walking together as a family — Michelle, John, and Bobby — Miles for Steve.
Thank you for walking with us, supporting us, and helping us keep Steve’s memory moving forward ❤️
