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, to provide family support, medical education and research programs.
Established in 2015, this event has grown substantially with supporters participating in satellite locations and individual events across the United States.
Beau Ances, MD, PhD and his lab started the 1st Annual Strides for CJD in St. Louis in 2019. Our 2020 walk was held virtually, but we were back in person for our 2021 walk!
Join us for the Strides 4 CJD 2022 Walk in Tower Grove Park on October 9th at 9am!
