What could a participant do through WeGlow?
- Register for the walk through the organiser's website.
- Start a fundraising page on the event page.
- Pick a charity of your choice from the participating organisations.
- Share the page with friends, family and colleagues. Every donation counts towards the event total.
How an open event works as a whole is explained in the article on WeGlow Events.
How does a charity join?
An open event admits several charities. A charity signs up through its own dashboard on WeGlow.world, with a short motivation, and takes part after approval. Participants can then choose it as the beneficiary of their fundraising page.
- Your organisation appears on the event page among the participating charities.
- Participants who choose you make a fundraising page for your cause.

WeGlow and the Vlaamse Parkinson Liga
In the original announcement of March 2026, WeGlow said its team would walk along and raise money for the Vlaamse Parkinson Liga. That announcement did not yet name a fundraising page. What that effort finally raised is not stated here.
Frequently asked questions
Does a participant have to pay to make a fundraising page?
Starting a fundraising page on WeGlow.world costs the participant nothing. A platform fee of 5% applies to donations, which the donor can cover. Registration for the walk itself goes through the organiser and costs €70 for 101 kilometres, according to Wandel.be.
Which charities can a participant choose?
At an open event on WeGlow.world the participant chooses from the organisations taking part in the event, once the organiser has approved them. The more organisations sign up, the more choice there is. An organisation that wants to take part signs up through its dashboard.
Is this the only event where this is possible?
No. WeGlow Events is meant for any event where people raise money together, from a sponsored run to a benefit evening. The Hagelandse 101 was an open event on WeGlow.world in 2026. If you want to organise an event yourself, you can contact the WeGlow.world team.
How does a gift reach the charity?
The donor pays on the fundraising page through a payment provider. The gift is meant for the charity the participant chose, not for WeGlow.world. The organisation links the payment account itself; the exact payout depends on its payment account.
