Walk with us

Exact date, start time and route for each year's walk go out to everyone who has registered interest, and go up here and on our social media.

Register now and you'll hear from us as soon as it's set. You're not committing to anything.

A rough number helps us plan. It doesn't hold you to it.

Accessibility needs, or anything that would make the day easier for you.

Volunteer

Our volunteers are an important part of what we do. Whether helping at the events, supporting our awareness campaigns, or lending a helping hand behind the scenes, everyone's contribution makes a difference.

We welcome anyone who wants to help us raise awareness of Myasthenia Gravis and support individuals and families affected by MG. Every helping hand matters.

Including how much you can take on. Little is genuinely fine.

Sponsor the walk, or support the work

Organisations that want to sponsor an event can email us directly. If you'd like to give as an individual, the donate page explains exactly where it goes.

Presentations & Education

Invite us to present

We speak to workplaces, schools, community groups and healthcare teams about what myasthenia gravis is, what it looks like from the inside.

Presentations are given in person. Tell us who your group is and we'll find a date that works.

Approximate is fine.

Questions about the walk

  • How far is the walk, and can I do it with limited mobility?

    Our walk is about raising awareness and coming together, not how far you can walk. If you have limited mobility or are unable to walk, you are still very welcome! You can participate by sitting and cheering on others or simply being there to show your support. Everyone has a place on our walk, and every presence makes a difference!

  • Do I need to have MG to join?

    Not at all. Most people walking are family, friends, coworkers and neighbours. Bringing people who don't have MG is how awareness actually spreads.

  • Is there a registration fee?

    Registration is by interest form and we'll send you the details for the year's walk. If you'd like to give something, the donate page explains how, but turning up costs nothing.

  • Can my business or organization sponsor the walk?

    Absolutely! We welcome businesses and organizations interested in supporting our Annual MG Awareness Walk. Your sponsorship helps us raise awareness of Myasthenia Gravis (MG), supporting affected individuals and families, and making our event possible. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference. Together, we can shine a light on MG!
