In memory of Laura Hunt
Laura's Mito Mission
Campaign by My Mito Mission (RCN 1176616)
Welcome to Laura's mission to raise awareness, support, funds for research and hopes for a cure for everyone with mitochondrial disease. Laura tragically died from mito in June '21 but her mission continues, honouring her courage & beautiful spirit.

Story

I met Laura about 8 years ago at Wheelies Sports Club in Macclesfield which provides activities for people with disability . Laura's physical issues were due to having Mitochondrial Disease, and I have Cerebral Palsy. 

It was devastating when Laura died in 2021. She was a special, special person and I thought the word of her. That's why I'm taking on the HUGE challenge to cycle 1524 miles to raise funds in her honour. The '24' is added on for a reason - it's how long Laura lived with this awful illness. 

This is a massive challenge for me and will take 77 x 20 miles sessions. I hope to complete it this year and will provide updates here. Any support - large or small will be really appreciated.

Thank you :)
