I am walking 35km to cure mito

$350 raised !! Thank you!!

Thank you all so much for your support and donations so far, I really didn't expect to make it to my donation target of $350 in just 2 days. Again, thank you 😊.
Shall we see if we can double it?

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

Hey all! I'm walking 35 km (21.7 miles) in The Bloody Long Walk to help Australians living with mitochondrial disease.

That’s over 46,200 steps in one day. 

Starting at Palm beach, and finishing at Manly Promenade - I know I’ll probably cross the finish line absolutely exhausted, but if you think about it,  that’s nothing compared to what people with mitochondrial disease go through every day of their lives.

Mitochondrial disease is something I had never even heard of until I saw Julia's story here (https://youtu.be/aV82ui9OOEw?si=WGo-9FkzEBdmRf8l)

Mitochondrial disease robs the body’s cells of energy, causing multiple organ dysfunction or failure. It can affect anyone at any age, and there is currently no cure, although with further research hopefully we will get there one day.

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

I'm trying to start off by raising $10 for every km walked. Even 5c will make a difference!

The Bloody Long Walk is owned and operated by the Mito Foundation so 100% of profits go directly to support people affected by mitochondrial disease, find treatments and cures, and fund education and advocacy programs.

My 35 km walk will definitely be tough (it might be the furthest I've ever walked without stopping) but with your support, I know I can do it.
Thank you! 🙂
