Celebrating 15 years of… The Lily Foundation!

As we approach our 16th birthday, we’ve been reflecting on the previous 15 years and how our charity has grown and flourished. Of course, such a milestone is naturally tinged with sadness as we reflect on the years since Lily passed away, but it’s also filled with hope – the hope we’ve given to the patients we're supporting, the breakthroughs we’ve made in our quest for treatments, and the awareness we’ve raised about mitochondrial disease.

Since 2007 we’ve raised a staggering £9 million, but we won’t rest on our laurels! We’ll be spending the next 15 years – and many more after that – working just as hard: investing in pioneering research; improving the diagnostic journey for patients and ensuring they have a voice and equal access to support; continuing to build our community and bring people together; and working towards a day when there are treatments and that all-important cure for mito.

Thank you for joining us on our journey,

The Lily team x
