We're walking 35km in The Bloody Long Walk!
🚶♀️ 35km. Zero experience. All optimism.
Our team is taking on The Bloody Long Walk to help Australians living with mitochondrial disease (mito).
We'll probably cross the finish line exhausted, sore and covered in blisters—but that's nothing compared to what people living with mito face every single day.
Mitochondrial disease robs the body's cells of energy, leading to dysfunction or failure of multiple organs. It can affect anyone, at any age, and right now there is no cure.
If you'd like to better understand just how incredible—and essential—our mitochondria are, I highly recommend this podcast featuring Dr Martin Picard, one of the world's leading mitochondrial scientists. It's fascinating and gives a whole new appreciation for the tiny powerhouses that energise every cell in our bodies.

We're walking to help fund vital research into better treatments and, ultimately, a cure.
If you're able to, please consider sponsoring our walk. Every donation—big or small—will make a real difference for families affected by this devastating disease.
Thank you so much for your support. ❤️
