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 — and this year, there's a way for everyone to participate! Choose the challenge that's right for you, 5K Run, 5K Walk, or the Keep Moving Walk, a shorter, accessible route designed especially for Parkinson's patients and those who want to walk by their side.

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.

We’d love to partner with you. Contact Katie Webster at [email protected] to learn about sponsorship opportunities and how your support can make a lasting impact.
