Why A K A Day Matters

Every week in the UK, 12 young people lose their lives to undiagnosed heart conditions. Through A K A Day, our community helps fund heart screenings that give young people vital information about their heart health.

How A K A Day Works

Step 1 — Choose your Bee
Pick a daily distance that suits you — from Bumble (0.5km per day) to Ultra Bees (10km per day).

Step 2 — Move your way
Walk, run, cycle, skate, roll — however you move, it counts.

Step 3 — Complete May together
Upload your evidence and receive your A K A Day medal — or donate the medal cost to CRY.

A K A Day takes place in May — sign up now to join or add your details to our mailing list!

Our Impact So Far

  • 2,100+ young hearts screened*
  • 12 CRY screening sessions funded
  • £200,000+ raised in Robert’s memory
  • It costs £70 to screen one young person

*185 young people with no symptoms were identified with abnormalities requiring further investigation.

The Challenge

A K A Day is a month‑long challenge that takes place every May.

Choose a daily distance, move your way each day, and help fund life‑saving heart screenings for young people through CRY. This challenge is designed to fit around real life — all ages and abilities are welcome.

Which Bee Are You?

Choose the option that works best for you. You can mix activities and go at your own pace — what matters is showing up.

  • Bumble Bee Under 5s — 0.5k per day

  • Worker Bee 1k per day

  • Drone Bee 2k per day

  • Queen Bee 5k per day

  • Ultra Bee 10k per day

However you move — walking, running, cycling, skating, rolling, or pushing a pram — it all counts.

We ask for a £15 donation to take part in the challenge to support Cardiac Risk in the Young.

There is a junior discount for those aged 5-12 (£10), a £5 Bumble Bee option for under 5’s and a family option (2 adults + 2 juniors) for £45.
