Organiser's description
The International Boxing Club in Toledo provides free boxing classes for people with Parkinson's in an effort to Knock Out Parkinson's Disease! Participating in these classes helps help people improve their quality of life and cope with the disease. Money raised through functions such as this 5K Run/1 Mile Walk subsidize the cost of these classes for > 150 people with Parkinson's in the greater Toledo area.
The race is named in honor of Dick O'Brien who was a very active participant in the KOPD classes. Mr. O'Brien asked to be buried with his boxing gloves when he passed away in 2016. He lived in Lambertville, MI and was originally from Toledo, OH. He graduated from the University of Toledo's College of Law. Dick served in the Air Force for four years where he achieved the rank of Lieutenant.
His service to the Greater Toledo Community included volunteer work in a variety of capacities at Gesu Parish, Boy Scouts, School Board, and he did other volunteer work with a number of local veteran organizations.
T-shirts (5 color with the IBC logo) are included/available for participants who register in advance of the race.
