🏃♀️ Walk With Us for Kidney Health: Join the AACKA 3K/5K Walk in Birmingham!
African and Afro-Caribbean Kidney Awareness (AACKA) invites the community to take a step towards better health by joining our 3K or 5K Awareness Walk on Saturday 06 September 2025 at the Edgbaston Reservoir. The walk begins promptly at 10:00am.
This community event aims to shine a light on the rising impact of kidney disease in African and Afro-Caribbean communities, where people are disproportionately affected and often diagnosed too late. Through walking, we hope to raise both awareness and funds to help tackle health inequalities and encourage early prevention.
🚶♂️ Why You Should Join:
Choose between a 3K or 5K route—perfect for individuals, families, and groups
Help raise awareness of silent symptoms and the importance of kidney health
Support a cause that directly benefits your community
Make it fun: come in teams, wear your AACKA t-shirts, or bring your banners!
🩺 On the Day:
Free blood pressure checks offered by trained volunteers
Information leaflets and health resources available throughout the event
Opportunities to meet and talk with AACKA volunteers, and members of the AACKA community.
This is more than just a walk—it’s a movement towards early detection, education, and empowerment.
🎟️ Free to take part, but donations are welcome. AACKA merchandise will also be available on the day.
