Every step brings hope.

About The Event

What to expect

Every Step Brings Hope

This September, take on a challenge that means something.

Walk, run or move 38 miles throughout the month and help raise vital funds for Amelia’s Light.

Why 38 miles?

Because that’s the return journey Amelia regularly makes between home and Great Ormond Street Hospital. It represents the miles that have become part of life for many families caring for a seriously ill child. Behind every hospital journey is a family facing uncertainty, emotional strain and unexpected costs.

By taking on this challenge, you’ll help us raise awareness and funds so Amelia’s Light can support families during some of the hardest moments of their lives.

The Challenge

Complete 38 miles between 1st and 30th September.

How you do it is completely up to you.

  • Walk around your local park.
  • Run your favourite route.
  • Walk the dog.
  • Hike with friends.
  • Split it into short daily walks.
  • Complete it all in one go if you’re feeling ambitious.

There are no time limits and no minimum pace. Every mile counts.

Sign Up Today

Whether you’re walking on your own, with family, friends, colleagues or your four-legged companion, we’d love you to be part of Walk For Light.

Together we’ll walk 38 miles.

Together we’ll raise awareness.

Together we’ll bring hope to families who need it most.

Every step brings hope. 💜
