How your money can make a difference
New research Unit
The Lily Foundation will be funding a brand new gene testing programme in conjunction with Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospital. This will be working to establish the causes of the disease, speed diagnosis and to progress vital research to find a cure for Mitochodrial Disease.
Family Accomodation
With children sometimes having to travel great distances to receive the treatment they need, it is important for them to have their family close by. The Lily Foundation will provide funding to support a new house being built at St Thomas’, to provide a home from home environment for families to stay close to their sick children.
Training
The training of the metabolic team is essential in the process of finding a cure for metabolic
disorders. With NHS funding being extremely limited, this dedicated team of professionals often have to self fund in order to attend courses and conferences. The Lily Foundation will support the metabolic team by providing funds for this all important training.
