On 12 December 2020, our precious Daisy came into the world, filling it with light. Born with hip dysplasia in her right hip, she faced challenges from the very start. As she grew, Daisy’s journey became even more complex—at the age of 3, she began experiencing eye problems and developed anxiety over the simplest things. Loud noises unsettled her, and tremors in her little body soon followed.

In December 2024, an MRI revealed troubling grey areas on Daisy’s brain and brainstem. Countless tests followed, and on 20 January 2025, Daisy was diagnosed with mitochondrial disease (MT-ND5). Despite the difficulties, Daisy continued to shine, her strength and spirit inspiring everyone around her. She adored hot chocolates, sweet treats, and was known for her delightful sassiness.

While enjoying a family holiday abroad in March 2025, Daisy’s fight came to an end, and she passed away. Our amazing, strong little girl left a profound impact on our lives. Though our hearts are shattered, we are determined to honour Daisy’s legacy by helping to find a cure for this cruel disease.
