💙 You are Changing Parkinson’s!
Because of YOU, we exceeded our $125,000 fundraising goal for 5KforJK!
These funds will power the PDNextSteps exercise programs, Secret Life of Parkinson’s podcast, Changing Parkinson’s Kits, and so much more—helping us remove fear, build confidence, and provide hope for the Parkinson’s community.
This is just the beginning. Together, we are Changing Parkinson’s. 💙

DOUBLE the impact, DOUBLE the hope!
A generous donor just put $25,000 on the line for Changing Parkinson’s — and we have 25 days to match it.

That means every dollar you give is instantly DOUBLED.

Want to make it even more powerful? Take a PD Challenge in honor of someone living with Parkinson’s and ASK YOUR FRIENDS TO DONATE TO YOUR CHALLENGE!

For this challenge, do EVERYTHING with your non-dominate hand: brushing your teeth, eating, cooking, putting on makeup, washing your hair, writing, shaving, using your phone, tying your shoes, pouring a drink - you name it! EVERYTHING! For ONE day.
Take videos or pictures and post/share them here!

From diagnosis to determination — Jessica’s story is where 5KforJK began.
In her recent interview on the PatientRx Podcast, she opens up about her young-onset Parkinson’s diagnosis, the power of community, and why support, movement, and hope matter more than ever.

This conversation is raw, real, and full of heart — and it’s exactly why our mission continues.

What started as a walk for one has become a mission for millions.

Through Changing Parkinson’s, people living with Parkinson’s have found more than just support — they’ve found hope.
They’ve felt seen, heard, understood, accepted, encouraged, and empowered. They’ve discovered tools, stories, and community that remind them: they’re not alone.
Every story matters. Share yours with

Big News! 🎉Changing Parkinson’s is here — our new name and bold new look that brings together everything that’s grown out of 5KforJK.

Don’t worry — 5KforJK isn’t going anywhere! It’s still our signature event and the heart of our story. But now, it lives under a bigger umbrella: Changing Parkinson’s, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting people with Parkinson’s through education, exercise, and community.

Together, we’re building a future where no one should face Parkinson’s alone. 💪
