Happy Mail for Regan

Can you help bring a smile to Regan? 
 
Regan, is one of our ‘missionees’ form
Regan’s Mito Mission and has had some challenging health issues due to having mito recently – that is sadly bringing upset and distress to his usual smiling face.

 
It would be a fantastic lift if he could receive some ‘happy mail’ – a card, a note, picture, small gift … anything. He loves to get post!  Please send them to Regan c/o My Mito Mission, 44d Long Ridge, Brighouse, HD6 3RZ and we’ll swiftly
forward them.
 
Thank you… and thank you to the family’s lovely friend, Margaret for the idea too.

Light up for Mito Success

From The Piece Hall in Halifax to the Fox & Hounds, Bury St Edmunds (pictured)… it was fantastic to see so many buildings light up green this year in the UK in support of ‘Light Up for Mito’, part of World Mito Week.

Some of our wonderful ‘missionees’ were determined to be in on the campaign too! Check out Regan and his family in the West Midlands from
Regan’s Mito Mission, the Brooks’ family home where
Steph & Jake’s Mission is based and the eye-catching window in Rochdale by
Aiman’s Mito Mission.  All glowing gloriously green to raise awareness.

Steph & Jake’s Mito Mission Launch

Thrilled to introduce and welcome our first ‘twosome’ on a mission … Steph and Jake!

 

They’re mum and son and both live with different diagnosis and the varying symptoms of mitochondrial disease. Steph and Jake are keen to raise more awareness from their home in Bury St Edmonds where they are wonderfully supported by Steph’s husband and Jake’s dad, Paul.

 

By sharing their story locally and beyond, Steph, Jake and their family want to ensure that more people know about mito, and how important it is to find treatment and a cure.

 

Please read about their journey with mito on Steph & Jake’s webpage.

Halifax Soroptimists Adopt Emma’s Mission

Soroptimist International of Halifax have adopted Emma’s Mito Mission as their charity for 2020/21.  

 

Despite the challenging constraints of the coronavirus pandemic, the members of the Soroptimists will be raising awareness and supporting Emma’s mission up until next May.  ‘We like to support a local charity and Emma’s mission is firmly rooted in Halifax and Calderdale’, says president Jean Lumb, ‘but we know that any funds we can help raise for research will have far-reaching implications and help people across the UK, and internationally too.’

 

Christine Beal, Emma’s mum and mission lead says, ‘We are delighted to be chosen as a lesser known charity for a little known illness and are very grateful to Halifax Soroptimists for whatever they will be able to do to support us.
