About The Event
UNITED FOR A CAUSE! In 2015 PJ Parkinson's Group was created and has hosted an annual walk-a-thon ever since. The mission behind our 5K run/ 1K walk is to help people better understand this progressive nervous system disorder and offer patients a caring environment full of support.
Unusual times ask for unusual ideas.
While maintaining physical distancing, we will have a virtual run/walk with people from all around the world. We will have a live stream to other countries like Iceland, Germany, Italy, Africa, and more. This will be a fun event and different than the most virtual events. People can see how folks in other countries walk/run and they will be able to see the nature and the culture of others. We will stream from a live studio with our emcee Matt Hinkin (who has PD) from WATE.
How can you participate?
Get your family and friends together and join from anywhere - your home, neighborhood, park around the corner... in the U.S. or all around the world. Every running/walking group will receive a link and access code to allow us all to connect while out and about or at home. You can also record your run/walk per video in advance and send it to us. We will you some instructions. Sign up your team under: www.PJParkinsons.com

This race is to benefit and support all free classes, respite care, mental health hotline, support group meetings, and all other services offered by PJ Parkinson's Support. We need your help to make a difference.
This will be a BIG DAY you don't want to miss. Build a team in honor or memory of a loved one. You can also make it FUN by registering a COMPANY TEAM or NEIGHBORHOOD RUNNING GROUP!
