Mitochondrial disease is a genetic condition that is more common than people think. It can affect anyone at any age with a vast range of devastating and highly debilitating symptoms. I am running the GNR this year to raise money for The Lily Foundation who support children and adults living with mitochondrial disease across the UK. This includes raising awareness of mitochondrial disease and funding crucial research. Without this research, there will never be hope for a cure so please help if you can and sponsor my GNR run (or plod!) to help with vital fundraising for this amazing charity 💚

The Lily Foundation was founded in Lily's memory, having lost her battle to Mitochondrial Disease at just eight months old. The charity aims to give hope, answers and support to the many other children and families that face the challenges of this disease today.Did you know every twenty minutes a child is born who will develop Mitochondrial Disease by the age of 16! There is no cure for this disease which is for many, debilitating and life limiting.Please stand with us and fight Mitochondrial Disease and fight for hope.
