We need your help to raise awareness and funds for research.

Whether it’s via word of mouth, giving out leaflets, sharing our posts on social media… it all gets the word out, and supports our vital cause.

Donate

Regular donations are the most powerful way to support our vital work, allowing us as a small, high-energy charity to plan and build from a strong foundation.

We need a 1000-strong team of amazing people to donate any amount from just £2 a month. 1000 is a lot, but – one by one – we know that we can reach it.

Fundraise

There are countless ways you can fundraise for us, and we can help you every step of the way!

Whether you bake, run, cycle, hike, knit, dance, paint… or anything else, we can provide you with branded merch, sponsor forms, and help with setting up a fundraising page.

You can always join in on one of our organised events too – click here to see what’s on!

Corporate Support

We know it’s important for businesses to choose a charity that’s both a vital cause, and meaningful to as many people as possible.

Support and funding for mitochondrial research isn’t only important for those impacted by mitochondrial disease – it’s the key to hundreds of common conditions, and to unlocking improved aging & wellbeing.

Supporting a charity as a business can create positive PR opportunities, enable you to reach new audiences, and boost staff morale – and it doesn’t have to feel like an obligation!

There are so many ways to get involved, from joining us at our events, to organising your own fundraiser, wearing bright green at your workplace for a day or simply donating regularly!

Our co-founder & chair Christine is available to give talks on mitochondrial disease and the potential of mitochondrial research for workplaces with 10+ staff, helping us to educate the public and raise much-needed awareness. Contact us to book or find out more.

You can also check out our missions across the UK to find a family local to you who are impacted by mito, and support their mission… or simply support our charity as a whole – it all goes to the same central pot!

Whatever you can to do to help us, we’d love to hear from you and explore how we could work together.

Here are just some of the amazing businesses and organisations who have kindly supported us:

Awareness

Anything and everything you do for our charity is hugely appreciated, because it all helps us to raise awareness of mitochondrial disease.

Awareness is vital, because mito is such a little-known illness, which can cause feelings of isolation as many find that their friends, family, and even some medical professionals don’t understand.

Just imagine you or your child has a diagnosis as devastating as cancer, but people look at you blankly when you tell them.

What Can I Do?

There’s lots you can do to help us raise awareness, from big campaigns to individual efforts; even the fact you’re here, reading our website, learning more about mito, means so much.

We have a few established campaigns, such as Light Up for Mito and Mito Ted on a Mission, that you can easily join!

You can also purchase merch to wear or display, put out some of our leaflets in your local businesses, or use the power of social media and share our posts and videos!

Watch and share our videos explaining what mito is, and what we got up to at our Mito Meet Up 2024!
