I'm running 26.2 miles at The London Marathon to help support The Lily Foundation for Teddy and all those affected by mitochondrial disease

At 11am on 24th January 2024, Teddy's parents were told he has a life limiting mitochondrial disease, and an extremely rare defected gene (DNAJC19). This defected gene causes something called dilated cardiomyopathy, which is the degeneration of Teddy's heart.
To the doctors knowledge, Teddy is only 1 of 55 in the world to carry this, and the only known case in the UK, so we have limited research and unfortunately no cure.
I want to help Teddy and his family to give hope to all those effected by mitochondrial disease so I am supporting The Lily Foundation a charity dedicated to funding vital research to find a cure and support families like Teddy.
Please give if you can and help me help them beat Mito!
