A K A Day was created in loving memory of Robert Rowan, who was tragically taken from us in November 2018 at just 28 years old due to an undiagnosed heart condition.
Robert was a kind, generous, and driven individual — a loving husband, son, brother and friend. His passion for people, teamwork, and achieving goals continues to drive everything we do.
Every week in the UK, 12 young people under the age of 35 lose their lives to undiagnosed heart conditions. Many show no symptoms at all.
Heart screening for young people aged 14–35 is not currently available on the NHS. Through A K A Day, we support the work of CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) to help fund screening sessions that give young people vital information about their heart health.
A K A Day is built around the idea of the Hive.
Just like a real hive, our community is strong because of its diversity. Families, children, first‑timers, seasoned runners, walkers, and pram‑pushers are all welcome.
Every individual contribution matters — and together, those small daily efforts add up to something powerful.
