Fighting mito,
finding hope.

Donate to The Lily Foundation

Thank you for choosing to support The Lily Foundation, and for being part of our community. Your generosity fuels our fight against mitochondrial disease – a complex, life-limiting condition for which there is currently no cure.

Every other day in the UK, a baby is born who may develop mitochondrial disease, and we’re committed to changing that. Our mission is to fund pioneering research into effective treatments and an eventual cure, while supporting affected patients and families and raising awareness of this inherited condition.

Donate today

Donate through JustGiving to help The Lily Foundation fight mitochondrial disease and find hope for patients and their families.

Your support fuels world-leading research

With your help, we fund ground-breaking research into mitochondrial dysfunction, aiming to uncover treatments and ultimately a cure. As Europe’s largest charitable funder of mitochondrial research, we rely entirely on donations to drive progress. Research funded by Lily Foundation could even unlock breakthroughs into other major diseases like dementia, Parkinson’s, epilepsy and some cancers.

Your support provides life-changing care

In addition to research, we offer specialist support for patients, families and carers impacted by mitochondrial disease. From in-person support weekends to financial advice and grants, your donation directly helps families navigate their mito journey.

Your support raises awareness and drives change

Raising awareness is essential to advancing research, improving early diagnosis and ensuring timely support for those affected. Every penny you give goes towards putting mitochondrial disease on the map, funding vital research and supporting children and adults on their mito journey.

Thank you for making a difference x
