Our vision is for a world in which every mitochondrial disease patient has a voice and access to treatment, support to improve their life and, ultimately, a cure.

Story

Donate today to bring life‑changing treatments closer

Right now, mitochondrial disease has no cure.

But with your help that can change.

Your donation helps accelerate the research families are desperately waiting for, while also funding the vital support that carries them through each day.

Just £20 can help us reach our £20,000 target and bring hope to families today, and hope for better treatments tomorrow.

This Christmas, while families around the UK gather to unwrap presents and build memories together, baby Felix and his parents, Jess and Joe, are holding onto something far bigger.

Felix was diagnosed with mitochondrial disease – a devastating genetic condition that robs the body's cells of energy. For babies like Felix, the future, new treatments and a cure for mito can’t come fast enough.

At The Lily Foundation, our list is simple. All we want for Christmas is hope, research, answers and an eventual cure for this devastating condition. But we can’t get there without your support.

Some Christmas wishes are bigger than presents. By supporting The Lily Foundation this festive season, you’re not just making a donation – you’re helping bring a cure closer and giving families like Felix’s the chance to hope for a tomorrow.
