GLOW London 2026

GLOW up London with Mental Health UK

On 10th October, I’ll be lighting up London as part of GLOW – a vibrant sponsored 20km walk shining a light on mental health.

I'll be walking alongside my parents and sister, in memory of my much missed brother, Michael.

Michael was a gentle, intelligent and funny member of our family, who loved sitcoms, quizzes and a pint of Guinness. 

We hope that by raising essential funds for Mental Health UK, we can help provide life-changing support to people across the UK affected by mental health challenges.

Every donation powers vital services, helplines, and resources — helping to ensure no one faces a mental health problem alone.

Let’s light the way toward a future where mental health is valued and supported. Please donate if you can — and thank you for being part of the movement.
