All About Our Charity

The Lily Foundation was founded in October 2007, following Lily's death to Mitochondrial Disease earlier that year (Lily's story). When Lily was diagnosed, as her parents we tried to understand, However we were overwhelmed by an abundance of medical and scientific literature and still felt as if we knew nothing. We felt completely alone.

After her death, my brother-in-law and Lily's uncle Jonathan Pearce spoke about setting up The Lily Foundation.  We haven't looked back.

To date we have exceeded fund raising targets and all expectations.
