Organiser's Description
5KFORJK MOVING TOGETHER FOR PARKINSON'S
The annual 5KforJK is a family-friendly event that brings together people living with Parkinson's, their loved ones, and the broader community!
This year, there's a way for everyone to participate! Choose the challenge that's right for you:
5K RUN/WALK (CHIPPED & TIMED):
Take on the full 5K course your way, run or walk, with official race timing and bibs for all participants. Whether youre aiming for a personal best or walking alongside friends and family, youre part of the full race-day experience.
KEEP MOVING WALK (1 MILE, ACCESSIBLE ROUTE):
A shorter, paved route designed for a more flexible and supportive experience, especially for those living with Parkinsons or anyone who prefers a gentler pace. No matter how you move, 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. Over the years, 5KforJK has raised over $350,000 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!
