In this episode, we welcome the co-founders of the 5KforJK walk for Parkinson's: Carrie Schaefer and Melissa Carlson (Michelle Adams was not available). The 5KforJK is now a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, but it started in 2021 as a 5K event to bring awareness to the Parkinson's community. Through that one event, we connected to the Michael J Fox Foundation, connected with more PD patients locally in Columbus, and also made connections across the globe. Check out this episode and learn how the 5KforJK was founded and where we are headed.
