My son Finley recently lost his friend Sophie, who sadly passed away at just seven years old. Finley was very fond of his classmate and has set himself the challenge to cycle a total of 100km throughout the month of June. This is to help raise funds for the Lily Foundation, the charity that supported Sophie.

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.
