A team of us are walking Yorkshire 3 peaks in memory of Bethaney Magen Patterson

Sadly Bethaney lost her battle in May 2023 but we will keep fighting to help others affected by this cruel disease.

Every other day in the UK, a baby is born who may develop serious mitochondrial disease.

Mitochondrial disease, or ‘mito’, is a rare, complex and difficult-to-diagnose genetic disorder that affects people in very different ways. It can affect any organ at any age, and often occurs in babies and young children. There is currently no cure, but we’re working hard to change that, and are the largest charitable funder of mitochondrial research in Europe.

Mitochondrial dysfunction has been identified as a key factor in other more common diseases including dementia, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and cancer. The research we fund and support not only holds promise for individuals with mitochondrial disorders, but has the potential to benefit millions of others too.

Please donate and help me help The Lily Foundation beat Mito !
