We are dedicated as a charity to raising vital awareness for mitochondrial disease, and of the implications of mitochondrial research for a much wider range of conditions and illnesses.
We’re incredibly grateful for all of the support we’ve received for our mitochondrial research campaign over the years, and we’re always looking to create new ways people can get involved!
This is a huge message, and we need your help…
Everyone stands to benefit from the breakthroughs mitochondrial research could bring.
As well as potentially resulting in treatments, cures and improved diagnostics and care for many common conditions such as cancer, dementia and heart disease, understanding how our mitochondria function better could also bring improvements in how well we age, and our general wellbeing.
You may well be thinking; ‘Wow! How haven’t I heard about this before?’ Unless you’re engaged with this specific medical field, the power of mitochondrial research just doesn’t make the mainstream news.
That’s why we’re passionate about spreading the message that the field of mitochondrial medicine has amazing potential. As awareness increases, this will inspire more mitochondrial research projects, bringing benefits to so many people.
You can read even more about the importance of mitochondrial research here.
As well as powering support, awareness and research for mitochondrial disease, we believe that it is our responsibility to raise awareness of how mito research could help everyone. That’s because it’s how we will best increase support for our cause, find treatments and a cure for mito – and because we feel that the world deserves to know!
Furthermore, mitochondrial disease patients, with their unique genetics, can be an incredibly insightful resource for medical researchers who want to understand mitochondrial function more.
If you’d like to help us spread the word, you can do it easily by ordering one of our speech bubble props and posting a selfie with it to your social media. Use our hashtag #MitoResearchMattersToMe and tag @MyMitoMission, plus any celebs or influencers you think might be up for joining the campaign!
Our own social media is a great way to get our message across, and we appreciate all of the incredible support from our followers. However, with such a huge message, we need to get this to so many more people.
This is where celebrities come in!
By harnessing the power of their audience, they can help us to fast track spreading the word.
To make it easy for them to join the campaign, we’ll be sending our speech bubble props out to celebrities across the UK and beyond.
If you or somebody you know has a large following, you can order as many speech bubbles as you like here – we would appreciate your/their support so much!
It takes courage to support a lesser known cause.
So we really do appreciate everyone’s help. We simply couldn’t do what we do without you.
Families and individuals affected by mito can often feel very isolated and alone in facing this debilitating and little-understood illness. Just a little support can go a very long way to help them feel that people care.
Do you know a celeb – from a local hero to an international icon – who might be able to help us out with raising awareness? Get in touch, or send them the link to this webpage!
