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.

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.
