Grants Update

Thanks to our fabulous supporters, we were able to contribute to an important new study through our friends at The Lily Foundation. Due to start next month, this study will explore the links between mito and neuropsychiatric diseases – a blanket term that covers a broad range of medical conditions involving neurology and psychiatry.

Read more here about this exciting project which will hopefully lead to improved information, mental health care and treatments for mito patients.

Our previous grant funding projects through Lily have been:
– 4-year gene editing research project
– support weekend for young adults
– enabling mitochondrial disease to become a part of The RUDY Study
… more information on all of these projects through the links.

With your amazing help, we’ll continue to raise awareness and hopes of treatments and a cure for mitochondrial disease, and support for those affected.

Ronni & Freddi’s Mito Mission Launch

Delighted that this month is seeing us welcome a new mission – Ronni & Freddi’s.

Ronni & Freddi are brothers and have been affected in very different ways with mitochondrial disease. Ronni is eight and doing well, but tragically for little Freddi, it was severely
life limiting.

As part of Freddi’s legacy, his family have joined us with their own mission, based in King’s Lynn, Norfolk to help raise awareness, support and funds for research for everyone affected.
Please take a little time to read about the family’s journey with mito on Ronni & Freddi’s webpage

Steph & Jake’s Mito Mission Launch

Thrilled to introduce and welcome our first ‘twosome’ on a mission … Steph and Jake!

 

They’re mum and son and both live with different diagnosis and the varying symptoms of mitochondrial disease. Steph and Jake are keen to raise more awareness from their home in Bury St Edmonds where they are wonderfully supported by Steph’s husband and Jake’s dad, Paul.

 

By sharing their story locally and beyond, Steph, Jake and their family want to ensure that more people know about mito, and how important it is to find treatment and a cure.
