Invisible Illness Awareness

Many people with mitochondrial disease have no visible signs of being ill. Similarly, there are many other illnesses and disabilities which are hidden.

Our brand new ‘heat changing’ mugs are designed to get this message across – with their message becoming visible when filled with hot water.

This adds to our great range of merchandise available 24/7 in our online shop. Always worth checking out!
