On Sunday 3rd May 2026, Call Me Amour members Harry Radford and Geoff Murphy will be taking part in ‘Walk For UPRAWR’, a fundraising drive to raise money for the UPRAWR Mental Health Foundation.
The walk will take place on the Isle Of Man’s TT Course, seeing Radford, Murphy and some incredible friends walk all of its 37 miles as they come together, raise awareness and support mental health. Joining them on the walk are Mallory Knox‘s Mikey Chapman, The Hara‘s Josh Taylor, Elliot Minor‘s Alex Davies, Kerrang Radio’s Alex Baker and TT racer David Rigby.
Mental health is a cause that’s incredibly close to Radford’s heart. Speaking about the walk, he shares,
“I’ve spent most of my adult life touring in bands, playing shows and meeting people night after night. One thing that’s stayed with me over the years is what people say after the music stops. So often, conversations drift away from setlists or gear and turn into something deeper — stories about hard times, grief, anxiety, loneliness, or simply trying to get through another week. A lot of people tell me that music helped them survive those moments, or that coming to a show gave them a brief escape when they really needed it.
“That’s stuck with me, because music has always been a place of refuge for me too. But I’m also aware that an escape, however powerful, isn’t always enough on its own. This is why I’m supporting this mental health foundation. They offer free counselling to people who might otherwise go without — a chance to be heard, supported, and taken seriously when things feel overwhelming. That kind of access can be life-changing.
“If music has ever helped you through a hard time, or if you believe everyone deserves support when they need it most, I’d love for you to be part of this.”
Donations for ‘Walk For UPRAWR’ are open now and can be made here.
ABOUT UPRAWR MENTAL HEALTH FOUNDATION
UPRAWR Mental Health Foundation provides free counselling and mental health support for people who identify with the rock and alternative music scene, the community at the heart of the UPRAWR brand.
UPRAWR launched as a rock, pop-punk, and metal club night. Since then, they’ve grown into a nationwide presence, opening music studios and launching a music publishing company.
“Following the tragic loss of Chester Bennington, we recognised the urgent need to do more for our community and knew someone had to take action,” shares founder Jack Davis
With mental health challenges rising UPRAWR set out to turn traditional mental health support on its head, creating services that truly understand and connect with the alternative community.
