Hello, I’m Hamish Critchley, I’m 19 years old from Portsmouth and starting from the 1st of May I’m walking from John O’Groats to Lands End for the Lily Foundation, or as I like to say ‘Marching for King Arthur’. One of our closest family friends youngest son has mitochondrial disease, which you can read more about below, and watching his and his family’s fight against mito over the years has always been very inspiring. So I wanted to do something to help this amazing charity which helps people like Arthur by raising awareness, researching for a cure, and supporting the mito community. Any donation, big or small, would be greatly appreciated!

(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.)
