Calling all quiz fans! As we approach the end of 2023 our CEO and co-founder Liz is hosting a special virtual Christmas Quiz. It’s free to join in but we’d love you to donate £15 toward our “Grant a Wish This Christmas” campaign and be entered into our prize draw for a chance to win a Christmas hamper.
Join us once again for the annual Lily Comedy Night hosted by the fabulous Kevin Day, who will be joined on stage by some of the UK's top stand-up comedians, returning to support us at the iconic Comedy Store. All proceeds from ticket sales will be used to fund research into mitochondrial diseases and provide vital support to those affected.
Every year, The Lily Charity Ball raises thousands of pounds to help people affected by mitochondrial disease. So cast off your rags and pull on your riches and get ready for our Cinderella Ball! You’ll have a magical time whilst helping us to change lives for the better.
Fundraising pledge: £550
Want to join the fight against mito? We’re calling for boxers to compete in the Lily Fight Night, our annual charity boxing event. No previous boxing experience is required – just a willingness to take a bruising for a good cause and help support patients and families affected by this disease.
Fancy playing a round of golf and raising valuable funds to support people affected by mito? Then come and join us for a relaxing day at Farrington Park Golf Club. We’ll have bacon butties, tea and coffee in the morning, and after the game we’ll be serving a delicious 2-course evening meal.
Are you a regular walker and new to endurance events? Perhaps a seasoned trekker looking for testing adventures? Or even a marathon runner wanting to ‘up’ your distance? Whether it’s along magnificent coastal scenery or over stunning open countryside, there’s an Ultra Challenge for you.
A great event to walk off the Christmas celebrations and kickstart your New Year fitness regime! With marathon, half marathon and 10k options, all starting and finishing at The Oval Cricket Ground on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th January.

Walk, jog or run a 50km Ultra Challenge, or take on the 25km half challenge, and make it an active Easter. From our Windsor Racecourse base camp 1500 adventurers will head out on looped routes through the Great Park with fantastic views of the castle, on to Runnymede and along the Thames Path, taking in some wonderful countryside.

Join us at the 2024 London Marathon. This iconic race has to be on every runner’s bucket list. By being part of Team Lily you will know that when you cross the finish line, not only will you be a hero to everyone who knows you, you will also be a mito hero to all our families across the UK.
The world’s greatest festival of cycling returns on 26th May 2024 in partnership with Essex County Council. From the family-friendly FreeCycle around London to the classic 100-mile race, there’s something for everyone including those who have never cycled in a race before.

The Great North Run is the largest half marathon in the world. So why not be part of something special in 2024 and join thousands of people running between Newcastle upon Tyne and South Shields.
Imagine standing at the edge of an open doorway in an aircraft flying at 10,000 feet – the noise of the engines and the wind ringing in your ears with only the outline of distant fields below. Now imagine leaning forward out of that doorway and letting go – falling forward into the clouds, skydiving down through the air as you start free falling at over 120mph!
This is the real thing and should only be undertaken by those who really want to learn what skydiving is all about! Learning to skydive solo is a big challenge and you will receive all the training required including practical and classroom sessions covering all areas of making a solo skydive from 10,000 feet.
This high-octane, one-off event is great for those who only have a small amount of time available. There are no gruelling marathon-training schedules to stick to, no weekend-long treks – you only need to commit to fundraising and the jump itself. With multiple locations across the UK.
Prepare for a truly unique and exhilarating experience; the fastest zip line in the world. Soar over Penrhyn Quarry where you could travel at speeds of over 100mph while you take in the breathtaking views and feel the freedom of flight.
