No matter how you move, or the distance you choose, every step makes a difference. The 5KforJK is the signature fundraising event of Changing Parkinson's, a nonprofit dedicated to helping Parkinson's patients live their best lives — lessening the fear of the disease through education, exercise, and community.
Why It Matters:
What started as a walk for one incredible woman — Jessica Krauser — has grown into a movement for many. Every year, 5KforJK has raised over $100,000 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!
