Team Hayden and Jacob

The Bloody Long Walk 2026 - Sunshine Coast

We're walking 35km in The Bloody Long Walk!

Our team is walking 35km in The Bloody Long Walk in memory of Hayden and Jacob two boys who lives were cut short due to Leigh’s 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.

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

Every dollar will make a difference.

THANK YOU!
