I'm Walking 35km to Cure Mito in The Bloody Long Walk!

I'm walking 35km - 46,200 steps in one day - to raise funds for people living with mitochondrial disease, like my son Alfie.

Last year Alfie had a life-threatening medical episode (involving an induced coma and a frantic medivac)! 😨 

He’s back home now, although he still has plenty of regular hospital appointments. He’s been diagnosed with mitochondrial disease (mito).   

Mito is a debilitating genetic condition that saps the body's energy and, in many children, can be terminal. There’s currently no cure for mito. 🧪 

Our strong little boy is the most remarkable little boy in the world. He does everything with a smile and he is the nicest, sweetest little boy.

We want the whole world to see you! See how brave you are, how far you’ve come and what you are going to go on and achieve in life! We stand by you every single day Alfie and will continue to support and encourage you to achieve your goals.

Please sponsor my walk to fund research into desperately needed treatments and cures for this devastating disease.

Every dollar will make a difference!

My 35km walk will be bloody tough, but with your support, I know I can do it.

THANK YOU!
