What an amazing day! The first Strides for CJD—Central Indiana event was a smashing success. With 125 people registered, we had perfect weather, so many meaningful conversations, and we reaised over $30,000! 🎉🎉🎉

📸 This post has just a small selection of the best photos of the day—you can access the full collection of photos at the link in the first comment below. 📸

We want to thank everyone who made this event possible—the planning committee, friends and family, our financial sponsors and those who made in-kind donations. It really was a collective effort.

Like I said yesterday, when you start an event like this from scratch, you have no idea if anyone is going to show up. Not only did you show up, we made a real difference.

The money raised will go to helping the The Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) Foundation, Inc. continue to support patients and families, advocate on Capitol Hill, create awareness in the medical community and beyond, and fund research that will one day (soon, we hope) find treatments and a cure for this disease that has impacted all of us.
