The Energy Ball – An Amazing Success

On Saturday 6th April The My Mito Mission Energy Ball took place at Cedar Court Hotel, Bradford.

The night started with a fantastic performance by the Rock Choir, who got the whole room energised.

While this was going on guests were able to place bids in the wonderful silent auction, take a look at our merchandise, buy raffle tickets and take part in the golf putting competition.

We also had fantastic entertainment from Lula Hooper and the show girls from Event Dancers UK.

Our chair and charity co-founder, Christine gave a wonderful, emotional speech which highlighted the vast number of people in the room that have been affected by mitochondrial disease in some way.

The night was a tremendous success raising a total of £10,385 all of which will go towards mitochondrial research, awareness and support.

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came and supported our ball, everyone who helped out and of course Lula Hooper, The Rock Choir, the showgirls and Ben Eagle, our brilliant compere.

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came and supported our Energy Ball, all our prize donors, our sponsors Towngate Plc, KT Hydraulics, The PMG and our patron Thornhill Estates and last but absolutely not least, to our wonderful volunteers whose hard work and dedication made the event possible.

Another Amazing Year!

Last year proved to be a wonderful year for our charity. Of course, it was not without its devastation, as we lost two of our precious missionees, Brody in February and Ronni in July.

Highlights of 2023 include:
9 new missions
Our very first charity ball
Our second My Mito Meet Up
Breaking the £100k barrier for funds raised to help us enable even more awareness, support and research.
… But there was an incredible amount more that we achieved with thanks to you, our supporters.

Let’s go from strength to strength in 2024!
