Jeff's 5KforJK Fundraising

Dear Family and Friends,
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
