Many thanks to all of you who are helping me achieve my goal for this Parkinson's Disease fundraiser. Historically, I am not one to ask for donations, but I am passionate, for obvious reasons, about the ability for me to make a difference to Jeff and his friends who are living with Parkinson's Disease (PD). I truly appreciate all donations, both small and big, as they provide many benefits to many people living with PD.
Jeff's 5KforJK Fundraising

Dear Family and Friends,
If you have already received this fundraiser request (and the previous one) and have donated, please know how much we appreciate your generosity. If you have not had a chance to make a donation, we hope you will consider giving to this worthy cause. I know how it is to be well-intentioned and then put it off thinking I will donate "tomorrow" and soon, out-of-sight/out-of-mind. It's funny, then, how the email gets buried and often forgotten. So let this email serve as refresher and reminder!
Welcome to my fundraising page! Jeff's journey living with Parkinson's Disease (PD) has directly and positively been supported by a non-profit called "Changing Parkinson's." (Formerly, it was called 5K for JK.) The 5K for JK local fund-raising campaign is now a part of this broader organization with the mission to improve the lives of those living with Parkinson's Disease . Since 2021, 5KforJK has been more than a walk, it’s been a patient-led movement replacing fear of the disease with truth. Based in Columbus, we’re helping people with Parkinson’s feel seen, supported, and empowered through free kits (to help educate those who are recently diagnosed), through local Parkinson's-specific exercise programs (Jeff attends these classes 6 days a week) and through "The Secret Life of Parkinson’s" podcasts (which expose those living with PD and their families to a wide variety of PD topics).
The 5KforJK means so much to me because the money that is raised is being used to make a difference in how people with Parkinson's feel and how they live their lives today.
We need your support! The 5KforJK 5th annual walk/run will be held again at Olentangy Liberty Middle School Track at Liberty Middle School in Powell, OH on Sunday, September 14, 2025. Please consider donating to my fundraising page and sharing this page with your family and friends. No donation is too small. Every dollar I raise will advance the 5KforJK's great cause! Additionally, if you are interested in participating in the walk/run, you can click here to register for the event.
Together, we can make a difference! Thanks for your thoughtful and generous donations.
Thanks so much, Betsy

We have had a very touching response and are thrilled with the donations we have received. However, we hope those of you who have been meaning to donate, will do so soon. The rewards are high for those who are living with this progressive disease...including Jeff. Thank you. Betsy
