Team Daisy Doo
In memory of Daisy Mai. Forever in our hearts.
Our daughter Daisy was diagnosed with a mitochondrial disease at 18 months. Despite her diagnosis she lived a beautiful life full of joy and hope. She had a head full of beautiful curls and the softest skin that would turn nut-brown with even just a hint of sunshine. Her laughter was contagious and seeing her smile got us through some tough times. She was such a strong, cheeky little character who went through so much. She didn’t know or care about her limitations.
In September 2019, Daisy died at home in the arms of her Mummy and Daddy just a month before her 7th birthday. We miss her every single day.
As a family we want to raise awareness and funds for research, in the hope that one day there will be viable treatments if not a cure... so that no other family has to suffer a loss like ours.
Mitochondrial disease is life-limiting. There is currently no cure. More children die from mitochondrial diseases than all childhood cancers combined. This is because we need research!
This cannot happen without funding, and this is where you can help. No fundraiser or event is too small. Every penny counts and is very much appreciated. Please join Team Daisy Doo and help The Lily Foundation who support families, fund research and bring hope to so many.
