Birmingham 5K Pink Walk

‘The success of the first pink walk has got people looking forward to making this an annual event in Birmingham.’ Ruby – Pak UK Fusion Society.

On Sunday 15th October, Birmingham hosted its first-ever Pink Walk with Imran Khan Cancer Appeal, to raise vital funds and awareness for breast cancer patients.

The walk took place at Birmingham’s iconic Cannon Hill Park and women of all ages and abilities participated. Our supporters from Pak UK Fusion Society played a pivotal role in making this event possible and engaging participants.

The day began with a coffee morning workshop for participants to learn the signs of identifying breast cancer, as well as the importance of talking about it in Pakistani communities to raise awareness. The workshop took place at the Midlands Art Centre situated in the park.

‘The success of the first pink walk has got people looking forward to making this an annual event in Birmingham,’ said Ruby, one of the key organisers from Pak UK Fusion Society.

Breast Cancer is the most common cancer in women, worldwide. Pakistan has one of the highest incidences of breast cancer in Asia. But breast cancer is treatable if detected in time. And this is why raising awareness and funds is vital if we want to save lives.
