Following from the huge success of our first Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge, we will be holding our second one on Saturday 7th September.

This time, you have the option of doing all three peaks, Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, or just the one (Ingleborough).

The 3 Peaks challenge is open to adults only, but should you choose to do one peak, young people aged 14 and over can participate accompanied by an adult.

Join us on the day to raise priceless mito awareness and vital funds for mitochondrial research!

An 24 amazing people joined us to climb the Yorkshire Three Peaks on Friday 17th May, and we’re so incredibly proud of them all!

As well as raising lots of funds through sponsorships, we have raised valuable awareness of mitochondrial disease on the day (and on social media) sporting our stylish neon tops!

The day was a huge success, and we’re looking forward to organising similar events in the near future, so keep an eye out for details…

Amanda, Chris, Howard and Teresa did a fabulous job at keeping us motivated and energised, providing water, plasters and even homemade flapjacks at pit stops along the way.

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.

Wednesday 20th March is the last day to buy tickets for our fabulous Energy Ball on 6th April.

We have a fantastic array of entertainment and fundraising lined up for our guests.

The lovely Ben Eagle will be our host and the sensational, high energy Rock Choir will open the evening.

There will be prizes galore in our raffle, balloon draw, lucky dip draw … as well as an amazing auction. Our guests will be able to bid on lots of exciting items from a beautiful coffee machine donated by our friends at Gaggia to some Dyson straighteners donated by Dyson themselves.
