The 5KforJK is a local fundraising campaign, with the mission to improve the lives of those living with Parkinson's. Since 2021, 5KforJK has been more than a walk, it’s a patient-led movement replacing fear with truth. Based in Columbus, we’re helping people with Parkinson’s feel seen, supported, and empowered through free kits, local exercise programs, and The Secret Life of Parkinson’s podcast. The 5KforJK means so much 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 Powell, OH on Sunday, September 14, 2025. Please consider donating to my fundraising page. 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. I have been living with this disease for 12 years. My journey has not been easy but it has been easier with the love and support all of you have given me over the years. I would love to have you join me.  We can walk a lap or two around the track together.
