When the cure for Parkinson’s is found — and it will be — it will be because of all of us.

- Michael J. Fox

Parkinson’s is my toughest fight. No, it doesn’t hurt. It’s hard to explain. I’m being tested to see if I’ll keep praying, to see if I’ll keep my faith. All great people are tested by God.

- Muhammad Ali

Cheer for Care would love to hear your story!

Jennifer Cobb Bio Picture

Jennifer Cobb

Founder/Executive Director

Jennifer’s mission to empower those suffering from and caring for people with Parkinson’s after her father, Dad, Ty Cobb, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. Inspired to do more, she became involved with the Michael J. Fox Foundation, creating Soul to Sole, a 5K Run/Walk that raises money and awareness for Parkinson’s disease. Raising over $50,000 over two years she knew she could do more to get a message of support for families and patients who suffer from this chronic disease.

Outside of Soul to Sole, Jennifer wanted to bring some fun to charity events, while also giving, education, and most importantly, support to the families and the patients that are suffering from Parkinson’s. For Cobb, education is power but so is fun. “When mixed together they make life that much better.”
