On September 12th, I will be running the Brighton Marathon and raising money in aid of The Lily Foundation. 

The Lily Foundation is a Warlingham based charity and was set up by one of my sisters close friends family after they lost their daughter to Mitochondrial Disease. They work tirelessly towards supporting families whose lives have been affected by Mitochondrial Disease, raising awareness about the disease, & funding research towards finding improved treatment and a cure.

See the paragraph below which gives a brief overview about the Lily Foundation. Also find the link below to their website for more info. 

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.
