Our children recently learned the very sad news that their friend and classmate Sophie had passed away, aged just seven years old. They want to set themselves the challenge to walk 7km (one kilometre for each year of Sophie’s life) to fundraise for the charity that supported her.

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.
