Flowers Family’s Story

Jeremy Flowers was just 49 years old when CJD took his life—only 43 days after his diagnosis.

What began as small memory lapses and balance issues quickly became something much more serious. Like many families facing rare diseases, Jeremy’s wife Jenny struggled to find answers.

Read Jenny’s story and learn how the CJD Foundation supported the Flowers Family during their most difficult days.
