Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As part of our Wedding Gift List we are hoping to raise funds for The Tiana Honey Watson fund.

The fund was set up to help fund research for the little known, life threatening condition, mitochondrial disease. Charlie's baby cousin Tiana died from this disease aged 2 years 7 months old.  At present there are no other funds supporting this cause. 

Mitochondrial disease results from failure of the mitochondria, which are responsible for creating more than 90% of the energy needed by the body to sustain life and support growth. When they fail, less and less energy is generated within the cell. Cell injury and even cell death follow.

Visually Tiana was a beautiful and perfect little girl and appeared to be glowing with health, but the disease had affected her muscles, heart, lactic acid levels and respiratory system. Tiana died on the 9th May 2006 of total respiratory failure. At present there is no cure or treatment for Mitochondrial Disease.  The fund hopes to change this.
