Big Push for Mito 2023.

The Big Push for Mito begins in earnest!

Our key event for World Mito Week, 18th – 24th September 2023, will be a fun wheelchair team challenge.
We are inviting teams of 5 to enter and take up the challenge to complete a 6-mile route each taking turns to push and ride in the wheelchair. As well as raising awareness for mitochondrial disease, we will also be highlighting accessibility, invisible illness and occasional wheelchair use.

Whether it’s a team from work, college, family, friends or your local pub… we’d love to have as many teams as possible on this fun challenge helping us raise more mito awareness and funds.

There’s lots more information and registration form on our Big Push webpage.

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!
