5KforJK: Moving Together to Change Parkinson's
5KforJK is a fundraising run and walk held in Powell, Ohio. The event offers multiple participation options and supports Changing Parkinson's, a nonprofit focused on education, exercise, and community programs for people affected by Parkinson's.
Participants may choose between a chip timed 5K run/walk and an accessible paved walk on a track. Race shirts are included with the chip timed 5K entry; shirts are also available for purchase for walk participants and as a shirt-only option. The event includes official timing and bibs for the chip timed 5K.
The event raises funds for several programs run by Changing Parkinson's, including comfort and support kits created by Parkinson's patients, a Parkinson's focused gym and virtual fitness community, and a podcast that shares experiences from people living with Parkinson's. The event began as a small walk and has grown into an annual fundraising activity that channels donations into these services.
