The Bloody Long Walk 2026 - Melbourne

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 sponsor our walk to fund research into desperately needed treatments and cures for this devastating disease.

Every dollar will make a difference.

THANK YOU!
