The Charity
The Lily Foundation was founded in Lily's memory, having lost her battle to Mitochondrial Disease at just eight months old. The charity aims to give hope, answers and support to the many other children and families that face the challenges of this disease today.
What's Mitochondrial Disease?
Did you know, every day, a child is born in the UK who will develop serious Mitochondrial Disease? There is no cure for this disease which is for many debilitating and life limiting. We have created an animation to explain how important mitochondria are, and what happens when they go wrong.
Our Three Main Aims
To fund research, to support families and raise awareness both in the general public and the medical community. We are committed to improve diagnosis, increase treatment options and ultimately find a cure.
Our Inspiration
The following video was created for our 2017 Ball to show how far we have all come in the last 10 years and how, by working together we will beat Mitochondrial Disease
