Tower to Tower for Mito

Undaunted by the lockdown, the lovely Brooke Inglesfield has set herself the target to raise £500 for us through Emma’s Mito Mission. She’ll be (virtually) walking from Blackpool Tower to the Eiffel Tower in 90 days – a distance of 840 km, or 520 miles. Although she won’t be making the actual journey, Brooke will definitely be doing the miles and making a video diary so everyone can follow her progress.

Postponed Events

With a bumper year expected, it’s a huge disappointment to have to put all our planned activities and events on hold.  Safety comes first of course – and our thoughts are very much with those affected by mitochondrial disease who will need to shield throughout the coronavirus pandemic. Our charity will continue to support them as best we can.

 

You can be sure we’ll pick up our plans for some magical mito-awareness events as soon as it’s safe to do so!
