Our aim is to reach a total of 24,901 miles, (40,074 km) – a circumnavigation of the world – by 19th September 2020, the end of Global Mitochondrial Disease Awareness Week. By taking part, you'll be helping to raise awareness about mito as well as vital funds, so we can keep supporting vulnerable patients and their families at this very difficult time.
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.
