More Exciting News:
In this season of Fox's "24," Jack Bauer contracts CJD. What on the show is fact or fiction in regards to CJD? Find out on my CureCJD blog:

Great news: President Obama has closed a loophole that allowed downer cattle into our food supply! Downer cows are finally banned in the U.S.
Go to the "Get Involved" page to see a copy of the letter I sent to President Obama March 15.
I wanted to thank him for banning downer cows but also wanted to ask him to take more steps to ensure the safety of our food supply. I posted a copy to CJD Voice in hopes other CJD families would send letters of their own too. Feel free to copy and paste from this letter to create your own. Email me if you'd like to have me post a copy of your own letter on the site. Perhaps we can get a lot of letters and/or talking points posted on the "Get Involved" page so that those too busy to write their own letters can find easy inspiration. (I know some of you don't like writing but still want to do your part).
Welcome to CURECJD.org. My goal is to help find a cure for CJD by bringing people and ideas together. If you aren't interested in curing CJD or think it can't be done, you can leave the site now. I refuse to believe for a second that we can't find answers and a cure in this lifetime.
