World Mito Week Round Up 2026

Glow walk news

Our Glow Walk awareness-raising event for World Mito Week is back! On the evening of Saturday 19th September, don your ‘glowiest’, green outfit (if you wish) and join us to raise awareness of mitochondrial disease in Halifax and beyond.

For those impacted by mitochondrial disease, awareness is so vital. Living with a little-known illness can be very isolating, and events like these show the mito community that there are lots of people out there who care.

Walk with us from Tesco Haugh Shaw Road, loop around Halifax and back to Wainhouse Tower, which will be lit up green for World Mito Week! We’re meeting at 6pm for 6:30pm set off. Please fill in the form to RSVP, so we know how many glow sticks we need! Contact us with any questions.

We hope to see you there!

Not local? You can organise your own glow walk very easily – just pick a route, as short or as long as you’d like, order some of our glow sticks (for free!) and bring your family & friends along! Whether it’s just you and your household, or a whole group, you’ll be helping us to raise awareness of mitochondrial disease across the nation.
