Movin' It 5k Run/Walk for Parkinson's
2017-11-05 07:00 - 12:00 | Griggs Reservoir, 2899 Nottingham Rd, Upper Arlington, OH, 43221, United States
OhioHealth Delay the Disease Parkinson’s Program Gets Participants Moving Again
Parkinson’s Disease is a neurodegenerative condition that causes tremors, stiffness, slowness, behavioral disorders, sleep problems and functional decline. “Medicare data shows, in Ohio alone, more than 21,000 people are treated for Parkinson’s Disease each year, with 7,500 new cases diagnosed every year.”
The fight against Parkinson’s Disease is real. This disease robs us of our independence and ability to move. Exercise is an important part of healthy living for everyone. However, for people with PD exercise is not only healthy, but a vital component to maintaining balance, mobility and daily living activities. In fact did you know exercise could actually help slow the progression of PD?
OhioHealth Delay the Disease™ is an evidenced-based fitness program for people living with Parkinson’s disease. The community-based wellness program is an important part of OhioHealth’s care continuum of neurologists and expert therapists working together to address the impairments associated with Parkinson’s disease. The program is designed to empower those living with Parkinson’s disease by optimizing their physical function and helping to delay the progression of symptoms.
Exercise and Parkinson’s Disease – What Makes Us Different
Ohio Health “Delay the Disease” is a fitness program designed to empower people with Parkinson’s Disease by optimizing their physical function and helping to delay the progression of symptoms. Founders, David Zid and Jackie Russell are passionate about the fact that Parkinson’s Disease can be manageable with daily exercise; it puts you back in control. This disease does NOT need to define you. Their belief in hope and inspiration for this community is a testimonial to their mission – to help provide this important tool of exercise to all people with Parkinson’s.
For a complete listing of current Delay the Disease classes, go to www.delaythedisease.com
From all of us who benefit from the Delay the Disease Classes, A SPECIAL THANK YOU to the RUNNERS and WALKERS and the DONORS that support our efforts!

The need for tennis shoes, as well as indoor gym equipment for HFF is in high demand, especially with winter approaching. There is no official “fee” for the race, but we would life if each participant could donate one, or more pairs of gently used/ new tennis shoes for kid and adult sizes. Money donations can be made by clicking the link below, or on the day of the race. 100% of the donations will go to gym equipment for HFF at the DOWD center located in Columbus.

2018-04-28 07:00 - 15:00 | Ohio Boy’s Camp, 44642 Zerger Quarry Road, Summerfield, OH, 43788, United States
Are You Ready for the 2018 Redbud Trail Challenge?
Join us for what we think is the “Most Rugged and Beautiful Trail Race in Ohio”. The Redbud Trail Challenge is a grueling Trail Hike/Run to benefit Ohio Wilderness Boys Camp (OWBC). Bring the whole family to participate and choose between a 5K, 10K, or 20K trail course. It will be run on OWBC’s rugged 600 acre forested property located in the hills of Southeast Ohio.
The OWBC RedBud Trail Challenge. . .
The Redbud Trail Challenge will do just that: Challenge your will, mind, and body just to finish this course. But it will be worth every bit of energy and will-power you spend. The trail will go through 2 primitive campsites (the 5K will go through 1 campsite) which the boys built and where they reside. A few more unique features are crossing the 68′ span “Nehemiah” suspension bridge (which the boys built), the beautiful springtime forest lush with Redbud and Dogwood blossoms, and huge boulders along the trail.
There will be 3 refreshment/first aid stations (2 on the 5K course) spread out over the course of the trail. The 10K trail is strenuous and has over 1,700′ of elevation gain and is approximately 40% technical single track and 60% old logging trails. The 20K trail will be twice around the 10K course and is not for the faint of heart. The 5K is perfect for the whole family because it is less rugged for those who want the fun of hiking in the woods, but not the difficulty and length of the 10K or 20K. All participants who register on or before April 26, 2018 will receive a race t-shirt and a gift from OWBC. You also can wait to register until Race Day from 7:15 – 8:30 am (Race Day registration costs $5 more). After the event, get refreshed and fellowship with your friends while enjoying a scrumptious meal for the whole family. All proceeds from the race will support the mission of Ohio Wilderness Boys Camp, a nonprofit organization helping troubled boys and their families find new hope. Register today and help us help boys. See you on the trail.

Buchtel High School has produced great athletes who have gone on to play at the highest level such as, Billy Baldwin (Baseball), Art Kusnyer (Baseball), Levert Carr (Football), and Ricky Powers (Football and current Head Coach).
Alumni Mary Anderson, class of 1994 and a two-time Iraq war veteran, wants to help give back to the school that nurtured her.
