Mitochondrial Disease affects around 6,000 adults and children in the UK, however most of us have not heard of it. Newcastle University's Mitochondrial Research Group work to find solutions that will make a difference to lives of people affected by diseases such as MELAS, MERRF and Alpers.

Story

In 2011 I had the pleasure of teaching a special little girl called Chantelle.  She had Mitochondrial Disease.  She was such a happy, loving and caring child who always had a cheeky smile on her face. When a person has Mitochondrial Disease the Mitochondria in the cells are not producing enough energy for the cell. Sometimes they do not work at all, and sometimes they are just not very efficient. In 2013 Chantelle closed her eyes and Heaven gained an Angel. Shine bright like a diamond little Angel x

Unfortunately there is no cure for Mitochondrial disease at present, please help me to make a difference and donate if you can - Thank you.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page
