Welcome to my fundraising page! The 5KforJK is a local fundraising campaign, with the mission to improve the lives of those living with Parkinson's and that includes me.  Since 2021, 5KforJK has been more than a walk, it’s a patient-led movement replacing fear with truth. Based in Columbus, they are  helping people with Parkinson’s feel seen, supported, and empowered through free kits, local exercise programs, and The Secret Life of Parkinson’s podcast.  I found this wonderful organization shortly after my diagnosis and I they have given me so much in the way of support and friendship.

5KforJK means the world to me because the work they are doing is making 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. Every dollar I raise will advance the 5KforJK's great cause!
