Parkinson’s Nebraska is gearing up for what we hope to be our biggest fundraiser yet, Walk & Run the Park for Parkinson’s–featuring the 1st Annual “Shake-a-Leg 5K!”. This family-friendly event will take over Elmwood Park on Sunday, September 30th. Walk & Run the Park for Parkinson’s has something for everyone—a 1 mile loop through Elmwood Park is a great work out (or a leisurely stroll) for walkers, fun activities and plenty of space for the kids to run around, entertaining performances featuring the Country Kickers America and groups from the LOCAL Parkinson’s Community, awesome t-shirts, and a delightful picnic brunch sponsored by Anderson Convenience Market in the beautiful Elmwood Pavilion.
Following the success of our inaugural Walk which boated more than 325 participants, we are very excited about the addition of a professionally timed 5K Race–The 1st Annual “Shake-a-Leg 5K!”! Locally owned Peak Performance is teaming up with us to offer runners of all ages and abilities a refreshing 5K *(3.1 miles) course through scenic Elmwood Park!
You know that the people who bring you the Skate-a-Thon every year know how to throw a great party, and 96.1 Kiss FM’s own Montez will show you that we know how to have fun even without ice skates!!
As always— all of the funds raised at this event will stay right here in Nebraska to support the LOCAL Parkinson’s community!
“We know that life with Parkinson’s isn’t always “A Walk in the Park”, but on September 30th it will be!” We invite LOCAL businesses to join us in creating a wonderful day at the park for all to enjoy! Parkinson’s Nebraska is a locally based small nonprofit, and we truly appreciate the tremendous support of our community!
