Popular top soap Coronation Street is to feature a big new story line which will see one of its characters diagnosed with mitochondrial disease.
Mito is to be brought to the attention of Corrie’s 6 million viewers by Leanne Battersby and Steve MacDonald receiving the news that their son Oliver has the life-limiting condition.
What an incredible boost to give mitochondrial disease the recognition it needs and deserves. Thank you, Coronation Street!
