Out and About Summer Fundraising!

Some of our missions have been out and about doing some summer fundraising, and of course awareness raising.

Eddie’s Mito Mission held an awareness stall at Shepley First School with welly wanging and a tombola.

Emily’s Mito Mission had their annual fishing competition and raised lots of awareness and £1057 for mito research! A huge thank you to Waterfront Fisheries and Colin Pang.

Lillia’s Mito Mission held a charity football match in Sheffield with 28 local men taking part. A whopping total of £1836 was raised on the day!

Lucas’s Mito Mission held an awareness stall at Middleton Market in Leeds and had a tombola.

Emma’s Mito Mission held awareness and fundraising stalls at Brodstock Festival and Brighouse Gala with welly wanging, a teddy tombola and a parade.

And finally Aiman’s Mito Mission held a awareness and fundraising stall at Broadway Shopping Centre, Bradford with the help from Rotary Club of Adventurers, Rotary Bradford West and Rotary Community Corps. They had face painting, crafts, henna, origami and a tombola.

Well done to all involved.

Wonderful World Mito Week 2023.

World Mito Week took place between 18th-24th September 2023. My Mito Mission had a bumper fundraising week to mark the occasion.

Steph & Jake’s Mito Mission had a fundraising and awareness day at their local Co-op and Ronni & Freddi’s Mito Mission held a Family Fun Day in memory of their precious boys.

Emma’s, Ella’s and Lucas’s Mito Missions took part in The Big Push for Mito 2023, which highlighted occasional wheelchair use as well as raising awareness of mitochondrial disease. Regan’s Mito Mission also did a 50k Walk in a Day to celebrate World Mito Week.

My Mito Mission also had some landmarks light up green to raise mito awareness. As well as The Oastler Building at Huddersfield University and Merry Hill Shopping Centre which lit up in 2022, we also had OVO Hydro and the Wallace Tower light up.

We are now looking forward to more buildings lighting up in 2024. Do you know of somewhere that can light up green to raise Mito awareness? If you do, get in touch!
