No matter how you move, or the distance you choose, every step makes a difference. The 5KforJK is the signature fundraising event of Changing Parkinson's, a nonprofit dedicated to helping Parkinson's patients live their best lives lessening the fear of the disease through education, exercise, and community.
Why It Matters:
What started as a walk for one incredible woman Jessica Krauser has grown into a movement for many. Every year, 5KforJK has raised over $100,000 to fund programs that are truly changing lives:
* CHANGING PARKINSON'S WISH KITS: Thoughtfully created by Parkinson's patients, for patients, these kits deliver comfort, connection, and hope.
* PDNEXTSTEPS GYM: A dedicated space and thriving virtual community built around Parkinson's-focused fitness, because movement is medicine.
* THE SECRET LIFE OF PARKINSON'S PODCAST: Amplifying the voices and stories of those living with Parkinson's, so no one feels alone in their journey.
EVERY DOLLAR RAISED, EVERY MILE WALKED OR RUN, MOVES US CLOSER TO A STRONGER, MORE HOPEFUL FUTURE FOR PATIENTS, CAREGIVERS, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES TOUCHED BY PARKINSON'S. LACE UP, SHOW UP, AND KEEP MOVING. TOGETHER, WE'RE CHANGING WHAT IT MEANS TO LIVE WITH PARKINSON'S!
