Story

Isla Ruby Harris was only 9 months old when she passed away from mitochondrial disease, something her family never heard.

Isla was full of laughter, smiles and cheeky faces, she had a fake cough to get attention and a very infectious laugh.

On 21st June 2019 she was taken to hospital as she was lethargic and very sleepy. They quickly discovered she had fluid around her heart. After 5 weeks of testing they were told she had mitochondrial disease that had caused heart failure and they had to say goodbye to their beautiful girl.

Did you know that everyday a child is born in the UK who will develop this condition? Currently there is no treatment or cure and it is life limiting?

In Isla's memory I want to help change this for other families. By supporting Team Isla Ruby and The lily Foundation I can help support other families and fund research to find a cure.

Please help me if you can by donating some money and remembering a very special little girl.
