The global pandemic ruling out most events has seen charities needing to get more creative with their fundraising. We’re thrilled that our new monthly raffle on Facebook has been a great success, raising thousands of pounds for much needed mito research since it started in January.
We call the group ‘My Mito Mission’s Fab FUNdraising Friends’ and value each and every member. There are a maximum of 100 numbers sold monthly, so everyone with a number has at least a 1 in 100 chance of winning one of our 3 great prizes. And our first prize is valued at a fantastic £300!
As all the prizes so far have been donated by our wonderful supporters – EVERY SINGLE PENNY we’ve raised goes directly to our cause.
We’d love you to join us!

One of our ‘missionee’ families is spending their Easter Holidays not only raising awareness for mito and funds for research – but clearing up their area too.
Regan of Regan’s Mito Mission is seriously affected by mito, and his siblings Kai and Laci to a lesser degree. This hasn’t stopped the family setting out to collect an amazing 50 large bags of litter from around their home in Cradley Heath, West Midlands.

Soroptimist International of Halifax have adopted Emma’s Mito Mission as their charity for 2020/21.
Despite the challenging constraints of the coronavirus pandemic, the members of the Soroptimists will be raising awareness and supporting Emma’s mission up until next May. ‘We like to support a local charity and Emma’s mission is firmly rooted in Halifax and Calderdale’, says president Jean Lumb, ‘but we know that any funds we can help raise for research will have far-reaching implications and help people across the UK, and internationally too.’
Christine Beal, Emma’s mum and mission lead says, ‘We are delighted to be chosen as a lesser known charity for a little known illness and are very grateful to Halifax Soroptimists for whatever they will be able to do to support us.

Undaunted by the lockdown, the lovely Brooke Inglesfield has set herself the target to raise £500 for us through Emma’s Mito Mission. She’ll be (virtually) walking from Blackpool Tower to the Eiffel Tower in 90 days – a distance of 840 km, or 520 miles. Although she won’t be making the actual journey, Brooke will definitely be doing the miles and making a video diary so everyone can follow her progress.
