Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Chris “CJ” Johnson
- November 18, 2024
Today, as we honor what would have been Chris “CJ” Johnson’s 52nd Heavenly birthday, we reflect on the extraordinary legacy he left behind. Chris’ vision and compassion continue to inspire us through the work of the Chris “CJ” Johnson Foundation, an organization dedicated to advocating for change and providing hope to countless families affected by renal medullary carcinoma (RMC).
What began as a small, heartfelt effort in Chris’ memory has grown into a global movement. The foundation’s reach now spans continents, touching lives and inspiring action worldwide. This remarkable growth speaks to the power of advocacy and the unwavering determination of his mother, Ritchie who believe in Chris’ dream of making a difference.
Advocacy is not just about raising awareness; it is about creating meaningful, lasting change. Over the past twelve years, the Chris “CJ” Johnson Foundation has spearheaded numerous initiatives, each aimed at shedding light on RMC and driving advancements in research and treatment. These efforts have not only brought critical attention to this rare disease but have also inspired the medical community to take action, leading to clinical trials and new opportunities for hope.
As we celebrate Chris’ life, we are reminded of his enduring impact and the incredible strength of the community that continues his mission. Chris’ memory lives on in every step we take toward eradicating RMC and supporting those affected by it.
Today, we recognize and honor Chris “CJ” Johnson—a man whose vision, compassion, and legacy inspire us all to be unstoppable forces for change.
