Groups of families and friends will make their way around this memorable and community spirited night time walk whilst raising vital funds for St Luke’s Hospice, as it celebrates 35 years of providing care in the Harrow and Brent area.

The event will start at Byron Park at 9pm, where there will be music, food and entertainment.

Just before 10pm, there will be a live warm-up to help get everyone ready to set off on the marshalled route around Harrow.

Laxmi Varsani and her family were participants last year.

Looking back on that, she said: “We did the walk in loving memory of my uncle Manji Patel.

“He was looked after by St Luke’s Hospice where he received amazing care.

“He passed away peacefully on June 30 2021.

“It was a very emotional journey for the whole family.

“The walk was a beautiful experience to be part of. I truly had an amazing time.”
