Pride Month 10K Charity Walk returns to Hammersmith

A previous 10k Pride Month walk

A celebration of Pride and fundraiser for the Motor Neurone Disease Association

West London Queer Project’s 10K Pride Month Walk is returning to Hammersmith in June.

Starting from Civic Campus at 11.00am on Saturday 20 June, participants will take part in ‘a scenic 10km riverside walk along the Thames before gathering for a vibrant Pride celebration’ at The Black Lion pub.

The walk will be raising money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

WLQP’s CEO Aubrey Crawley said:

“It’s hard to believe this event is now in its fourth year. During the planning of the inaugural Walk and Afterparty in 2023, I learned about my friend Zoe’s diagnosis with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and saw first-hand how little funding and attention the disease receives. That’s why we chose to transform this event into a fundraiser for the cause.”

MND is a life-shortening neurological condition that affects the nerves controlling movement. It causes progressive muscle weakness, which can affect how a person walks, talks, eats, drinks and breathes.

Symptoms vary from person to person and usually get worse over time, but support, treatment and equipment can help people live as well as possible.

The Motor Neurone Disease Association plays a vital role in supporting people living with MND, their families and carers through practical, emotional and financial support. The charity supports people with motor neurone disease (MND), campaigning for better care and fund ground-breaking research.

Participants will begin gathering from 10.00am at Civic Campus in Hammersmith, with the walk officially starting at 11.00 following a group warm-up.

Starting at Civic Campus in Hammersmith, walkers will make their way down to the River Thames and then cross Hammersmith Bridge. The route follows the Thames Path along the south side of the river before crossing over Chiswick Bridge back to the north side of the river.

The home stretch along the Thames Path through Dukes Meadows and Chiswick Mall will deliver walkers to the Black Lion Pub, for a much needed pint, food and entertainment. On the afternoon’s bill hosted by YsHee Black from 1 – 5pm are Adam All, Tom Heath and Lola Lasagne.

The event brings together the LGBTQ+ community, allies, supporters and local residents ‘for a day of visibility, solidarity, celebration and fundraising’. In past years it has raised thousands of pounds for the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

“I hope you will join us this year as we celebrate Pride Month, come together as a community, enjoy the beautiful sights of West London, and experience fantastic live music, food and community spirit — all while supporting an incredibly important cause,” said Aubrey.
