Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As some of you may be aware, Martin, my husband was diagnosed with Mitochondrial Disease 2 years ago, a very rare metabolic disorder. I am more than aware of the impact it can have on daily life as an adult, but was very interested to find this charity & the work that it does in helping families with children who have been diagnosed with Mitochondrial Disease. 

The charity works closely with Guys & St Thomas' & Great Ormond Street Hospitals.  Any donation that you can make will help to fund research into this rare condition, as well as supporting families through intitiatives like sponsoring a family room at the Evelina unit at StThomas's, allowing families to stay together whilst their children are in hospital for long periods of time.  Other intiatives include being able to offer families short breaks to Centre Parks for families with affected children, allowing them to spend time together when a child's life is limited, helping to create lasting memories.  Any donation of any size is welcomed and every donation makes a difference.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
