Lily Anna Merritt was a beautiful little girl and despite being given days to live, she graced this world with 8 months of life.

The Lily Foundation was built on Lily's own strenght and inspired by her fighting spirit. Although the Lily Foundation was founded in Lily's memory - it is not for Lily. It is to give hope, answers and support to many other children and families that face the challenges of Mitochandrial Disease and other metabolic disorders.

I understand it's a credit crunch however these issues continue to go on and without your help they cannot be resolved and at present there is little understanding or a cure for this heart breaking disease. I ask you to please reach into your pockets and donate as little or as much as you can as every little helps.

Thank you and know you have done something very good and worthwhile today,

Jess :)
