My lovely son Jack would have turned 10 this year. Sadly he only experienced one birthday before a mito condition, Alpers, cut short his precious life. My wife and I would like to support other families in similar situations through the fantastic work that the Lily foundation do and hopefully one day find a cure.

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.
