We're walking 35km in The Bloody Long Walk!
Our team is walking 35km in The Bloody Long Walk to help Australians living with 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 join our team and/or sponsor our walk - every dollar raised will make a difference.
THANK YOU!
About our team: The mitoHOPE program has brought us together! Led by Monash University, the mitoHOPE program has formed an Australian-wide consortium to conduct mitochondrial donation and reproductive options pilot program. The Mito Foundation is a key collaborator in the program. Find out more: https://www.monash.edu/medicine/mitohope
