This Carers Week, please consider making a donation to The Lily Foundation to help us continue our work supporting the unpaid carers who make incredible but often unseen contributions to the care and wellbeing of loved ones with mitochondrial disease.

Living with a mitochondrial disease diagnosis, and all the challenges the condition brings, is an incredibly difficult journey for any patient. However, sometimes we forget about the people behind the scenes doing the demanding but vital job of caring for those patients.

Whilst invaluable, this work can also be challenging, and carers don’t receive any payment for the work they do. Because of that, they can sometimes get forgotten, but not by us.

From financial advice to emotional support; from access to specialist counsellors to medical information days; from virtual get-togethers to in-person events… The Lily Foundation are here to provide ongoing support so that no carer who joins the Lily ‘family’ will ever have to face the challenges of mitochondrial disease alone.
