Very well done to Sam who ran the London Marathon in 3hours 14 minutes 24 seconds! Amazing!
He is raising funds in memory of his Auntie Jill who rapidly succumbed to CJD over a period of a few months, prior to her death at the end of December 2023.
Thank you Sam for all your efforts - it really is appreciated.
David Buckland sadly died in August of 2023, from Familial CJD.
In his memory, his son, Tom will be completing the Three Peaks Challenge in June, an ascent of over 10,000 feet. All funds raised with go direct to help finding a cure.
The hike has to be completed within 24hrs (including Scafell Pike overnight!) so it will be extremely challenging. Good luck!

Thank you to Connor Bradnam who will be running the Kew Gardens Half Marathon, on Easter Sunday, fund-raising for our campaign.
Connor picks up the story "The CJD Campaign is a charity that is very close to my heart. In 2010 my Grandad sadly passed away from CJD"
"My Grandad was a huge part of my life and helped me with anything I needed, and I want to do all I can to repay him"
"I want to raise as much money as I can to go towards the already fantastic research and help towards hopefully finding a cure"
"Any donations are welcome and greatly appreciated"
Thank you Connor for all you are doing - I'm sure your Grandad would be immensely proud of you.
