We're walking 35km for MARA 🦋

We are walking in memory of our beautiful Mara, who we lost to mitochondrial disease when she was just five days old. Our time with her was heartbreakingly short, but she will always be part of our family. Team Mara is a way for us to honour her life, say her name and carry her memory with us, every step of the way.

Our team is walking 35km in The Bloody Long Walk to help Australians living with mitochondrial disease.

We know we’ll cross the finish line exhausted and blistered, but that’s nothing compared to what people with mitochondrial disease (mito) go through every day of their lives.

Mito robs the body’s cells of energy, causing multiple organ dysfunction or failure. It can affect anyone at any age. Our family knows just how devastating this disease can be.

We walk for Mara, for everyone living with mito, and for a future where other families won’t have to experience the loss we have.

Please sponsor our walk to fund research into desperately needed treatments and cures.

Every dollar will make a difference.
Thank you for supporting TEAM MARA and helping us honour our little girl ✨
