The Zombie Walk in Birmingham is organised by Jamie Chapman with the help and support of friends, family and the local community who all volunteer and give up their time to make the event a great success. We have had over-whelming support from people in the community and last year raised £835.32 for the Birmingham Childrens Hospital. The event really wouldn't be possible without the help of all the great people who volunteer and give up their free time to help.
The event is in association with Zombie-Aid, which is run by Carl Whitely. Zombie-Aid help with zombie related walks, parties, gigs and events, all to raise money for cancer and children's charities. They are involved in Zombie related events all across the world including Bristol, Edinburgh, Leeds, Bradford, Bedford, Belfast and event Michigan in the USA.
