“COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — This month’s mom boss balances work, family and Parkinson’s disease while raising awareness and funds for those living with the disease.
Jessica Krauser seems to do it all but she’s quick to point out that nobody can really be everything to everyone.
“So, I was diagnosed with young onset Parkinson’s in 2019, so I was 37 years old,” Krauser said. “After my diagnosis I was doing well. I started exercising, I told all my family friends.”
But in 2021 she hit a rough patch and her friends noticed the change.
“They said we want to do something for you, we don’t know how to help. So, they said we want to have a walk called 5K for JK.”
In April of that year the idea was born, and that October the first 5K was planned, but it quickly became much more than just a walk.”
