It’s been amazing to see some brilliant activity across our missions, raising vital awareness and funds for mito!

Regan’s Mito Mission, Cradley Heath

Some very brave fundraisers took on the huge challenge of climbing Snowdon blindfolded, to raise funds for Regan’s Mission and their U12s girls football team!​

The team said, “The conditions, the cold, the wind and the rain pushed every single one of us to the limit. For those of us who’ve done this climb before, this was without doubt the toughest we’ve ever experienced. Every single person gave absolutely everything they had, and that says everything about our team.

We took on this challenge to support a cause rooted in real, daily struggles. To raise awareness of something that many families live with every single day, often behind the scenes. Regan… this was for you. You were with us every step of the way.”

Aria’s Mito Mission, Bradford

Aria’s auntie brought along their MitoTed to raise awareness and as a little good luck charm for a cheerleading competition! Merchandise can be

such a good way to spark a conversation about mito and MitoTed is such a bright little cutie, he’s hard to ignore! You can buy your own MitoTed

Milanna’s Mito Mission, Nottingham

Malaky, dad to Milanna who devastatingly passed away aged just 2 years old, is raising funds to climb Kilimanjaro in memory of his daughter

“My little girl was my entire world, and I want to keep her legacy alive by honouring her name and turning my pain into purpose.” said Malaky.

Merryweathers’ Mito Mission, Birmingham

The Merryweather family have been raising vital awareness of mitochondrial disease out and about! Claire Merryweather and her son George,

and possibly their other two children Matilda and Daisy, are impacted in the family. George and his dad Gregg love to go out fishing,

so have been taking their mission leaflets with them and handing out free bait to raise awareness amongst their fishing community!

Well done guys!

Laura’s Mito Mission, Northwich

Laura Hunt very sadly passed away aged 24 in 2021 to mitochondrial disease. Her best friend, Nina, is swimming 1096 lengths (approx. 13,152m)

birthday on the 21st.
