Mito Glow Walk | My Mito Mission

Announcing our upcoming Mito Glow Walk, an event aimed at raising awareness for mitochondrial disease as part of the Light Up For Mito Campaign during World Mitochondrial Disease Week!

What is it?

The concept behind Mito Glow Walk is simple: walk from point A to point B with as many or as few people as you’d like, using our glow wands to shine a light on mito awareness.

Local to Elland?

Don’t miss our local Mito Glow Walk on Saturday 20th September!

We will start at MMM HQ in Elland. We are based at KT Hydraulics, HX5 9AF and will meet at 6.30pm.
We will walk to Wainhouse Tower, which will be illuminated green to mark World Mito Week.
The walk is approximately 3.5 miles and should take 1.5/2 hours.
Signing up is as simple as contacting us, so we know you are coming, can arrange your transport back, and get your glow wands ready!

Want to organise your own Mito Glow Walk?

We would love to see Mito Glow Walks happening all over the country with your help! If you’d like to organise a Mito Glow Walk in your local area, here’s a simple guide:

Pick your route: choose two points or a circular route in your area and invite friends, family or anyone else who wants to join. It can be as short or as long as you like with just a few people or a big group! The size doesn’t matter it’s about raising vital mito awareness!
Get your glow gear: once you have decided the route, contact us to tell us how many glow wands you need and we will send them to you for free. You can also wear your My Mito Mission tops, bring Light Up candles, or any other glowing item, which can be bought from our shop, but a glow wand is ample.
Add some fun: if a long hike isn’t your thing, make it more exciting by adding a costume theme, turning it into a fun run or simply handing out mito awareness leaflets. Fundraising is of course optional, but spreading awareness is the main goal of the event!

We can’t wait to see what other Mito Glow Walks will pop up to raise some awareness.

On the day of your Glow Walk make sure to take photos and videos and post about your event on social media – tagging us @mymitomission on Instagram, or My Mito Mission on Facebook or LinkedIn, using the hashtags #WorldMitoWeek and #MyMitoGlowWalk!
