Hi All,
Thanks for visiting my page and donating :)
In 2016, my nephew Freddie was diagnosed with a form of Mitochondrial Disease. Since then, The Lily Foundation has been invaluable to my sister and her family.
I’m running the London Marathon to raise funds and awareness so The Lily Foundation can continue the amazing work they do.
It’s going to be 26 miles of pain but it’s nothing compared to what people with Mitochondrial Disease go through on a daily basis!
The Lily Foundation was founded in Lily's memory, having lost her battle to Mitochondrial Disease at just eight months old. The charity aims to give hope, answers and support to the many other children and families that face the challenges of this disease today.Did you know every twenty minutes a child is born who will develop Mitochondrial Disease by the age of 16! There is no cure for this disease which is for many, debilitating and life limiting.Please stand with us and fight Mitochondrial Disease and fight for hope.
