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). 

Go GET INVOLVED now

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.

My name is Heather Larson and you may already know me from my CJDTalk blog.  My mother died at the age of 56 in 2004 of fCJD and my uncle died of CJD in 2008.  He was also in his mid-50s.  I have also been involved with CJD Voice, the CJD Foundation, the CDC, and Barrow Neurological Institute.  The first thing I want to do with this site is show why people need to care about CJD and prion diseases in general.  Please check back soon for updates.  
The pretty lady in the upper left corner is my mother, who died November 10, 2004--the day after her 56th birthday--of fCJD.  More on her later...
