Ziggy’s Team – Walking for a Bloody Good Cause
This year, Ziggy’s Team is taking on the Bloody Long Walk – to raise awareness and vital funds for the Mito Foundation in honour of our brave little warrior, Ziggy.
Ziggy is just three years old and lives with Pearson Syndrome – an extremely rare and devastating mitochondrial disease. It affects multiple systems and organs in his tiny body, including his bone marrow, pancreas, and gut. He battles every day to get enough calories to grow and play like other toddlers his age. And while Ziggy is one of the lucky ones still fighting, life is filled with uncertainty – for him, and for those who love him.
Mitochondrial disease is complex, cruel, and often invisible. With so little known about how Pearson Syndrome progresses, every day brings new challenges and fears. That’s why we’re walking – for Ziggy, for his future, and for every family facing mito.
Please support us in this bloody long but deeply meaningful walk. Your donation helps fund research, support families, and bring hope to kids like Ziggy.
💚 Every step we take is for a better future. Join us or donate today.
