Our annual 5KforJK walk, held every fall near Columbus, OH, is a family-friendly event that brings together people living with Parkinson’s, their loved ones, and the broader community.
What started as a walk for one, our co-founder Jessica Krauser, has grown into a movement for many. Each year, 5KforJK raises over $100,000 to fund programs that truly change lives. Every dollar raised, every mile walked or run, moves us closer to a stronger, more hopeful future- for patients, caregivers, families, and communities living with PD.
Lace up, show up, and move with us at this year’s walk! Join us on Sunday, October 4. Register here today!
Our Parkinson’s Wish Kit was created for people diagnosed with PD and was designed with input from dozens of Parkinson’s patients on the items, info, and encouragement they wished they’d received when they were diagnosed and what they’ve learned since. The most important “item” in these kits for new Parkinson’s patients is the knowledge that they’re not isolated and alone – they’re now part of a larger PD community.
pDNextSteps started in 2015 with a goal to help provide fitness options for people who are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Exercise has been one of the only things proven to slow the progression of Parkinson’s, and we’ve built a safe, welcoming environment that has become an integral part of our members’ daily routines.
Our pDNextSteps gym, in Dublin, OH, offers a safe environment for people who are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. We also offer a Home Workout Series to meet the needs of those living with PD wherever they reside.
A podcast created by Parkinson’s patients, sharing their stories and interviewing others, on things we deal with on a daily basis.
Hosted by our founder, Jessica Krauser and Brian Baker, two Young-onset Parkinson’s patients.
