We're walking 35km in The Bloody Long Walk!
The mitoHOPE Program team is walking 35km in The Bloody Long Walk to help Australians living with mitochondrial disease.
The mitoHOPE Program is a pilot introduction of mitochondrial donation into Australian clinical practice. A baby born after mitochondrial donation is expected to have a greatly reduced chance of developing mitochondrial disease.
Led by a team of pioneering experts in mitochondrial donation, mito research, assisted reproductive technology, and bioethics in partnership with the mito community, the mitoHOPE Program is committed to transforming the reproductive options for people impacted by 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.
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!
