PhD student Bal shares her story of being diagnosed with mitochondrial disease, and talks about how The Lily Foundation helped to give her a voice.
What’s mitochondrial disease?
Here’s Bill Nighy to explain in a little more detail what mitochondrial disease is.
Mito is a rare genetic disorder. Our mitochondria are essentially the tiny organelles within our cells that generate most of the energy we require to function.
Without healthy mitochondria, cells cannot function properly and the results can be debilitating and eventually life-ending.
It’s a complex and difficult-to-diagnose condition that affects people in very different ways. It often affects babies and young children, and the long-term prognosis for sufferers is poor.
With your help
So little is known about mitochondrial disease.
With her help, with your help, The Lily Foundation will fund research that can one day find a cure.
Please donate what you can to help us keep fighting mito and finding hope for all those affected by this incurable condition.
Reflections on the Lily Family Support Weekend
We hear from mito parents Kerry and Sid about their experiences of attending The Lily Foundation Family Support Weekend.
This event is designed specially for the families of children who have been diagnosed with mitochondrial disease, as well as those who have lost children to the condition.
Your support is helping us get closer to effective treatments for mitochondrial disease, as well as improving the lives of those affected by it.
Thank you x
