Made it…

Well, we did it! It was a soggy seven hours but we did it. 
I wanted to thank those who donated to this worthy cause from the bottom of my heart. This is a life sentence for far too many people; for me, it is just a whinge, but I get to go home, have a hot shower and recover. Mito people don’t get that.
So if you haven’t sponsored yet and would like to, I encourage you to do so, there is still time!

Again, thank you for supporting me in this soggy, yet rewarding event. Your donations make a difference, I just get the blisters! 

Ps May I just add, I have had to change my fundraising goal about four times thanks to you wonderful people… I started at 500 and here. I am Amy for 3000. You guys are the best!

thank you!

Thank you so much for that amazing flurry of donations. I managed a decent walk on the weekend and am now in panic walking for the event - got a long way to go, but not as long or uncomfortable as those living with mito, so keep 'em coming and thanks again!

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

I'm walking 35km in The Bloody Long Walk to help Australians living with mitochondrial disease.

That’s 46,200 steps in one day!

I know I’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 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!
