The National African American Male Wellness Walk (AAWALK) Initiative was established in 2004 to combat the alarming numbers of African American men dying prematurely to preventable diseases. Men, women and children will come together at this annual National African American Male Wellness 5k walk/run to raise awareness in the area of health disparities among African American men.  DC Health Link certified Assisters will be on site to provide in-person education and enrollment assistance to District consumers.
