Charlie is the nephew to my closest and dearest friend and he was diagnosed with this condition not even 4 months ago and with my best friend going off to the other side of the world, I want to show her that her family are in good hands!

Mitochondrial disease - mito for short - is a debilitating and cruel illness affecting energy production. Our missions are run by affected families who want to raise awareness, research and hopes for a cure. Whether you help the charity as a whole, or an individual mission - it's the same great cause.

More research into mito could be the key to unlocking many other illnesses too. MILLIONS in the UK have conditions which also involve mitochondrial damage - diabetes, MS, sepsis, stroke, some cancers & many more.

THANK YOU for your support.
