GLOW up London with Mental Health UK

On 10th October 2026, I’ll be taking on a 20k walk for Mental Health UK as part of Glow for Mental Health.

Mental health can affect anyone, at any stage of life. So much of what people go through isn’t visible, and many people find themselves struggling without the support, connection or community they need.

This year, I felt that I wanted to do my little part to help people who may be struggling with their mental health, particularly those who have little or no access to community support. No one should have to face their struggles alone.

Sometimes, having someone to reach out to, a safe space to connect, or simply knowing that support is available can make a real difference. We may not always know what someone else is going through, but we can all choose to show a little more kindness and support.

So, on 10th October, I’ll be putting one foot in front of the other for 20k to raise money for Mental Health UK and the important work they do.

What might feel like a small gesture to us could be something truly meaningful for someone who needs support.

If you’re able to donate, I’d be incredibly grateful. And if donating isn’t possible, simply sharing my fundraising page would also help enormously.

Every step of that 20k will be for those whose lives have been touched by mental health challenges — and for the simple belief that no one should have to face them alone.

Thank you for your support. ❤️
