Hello Supporter

Without you, our supporters, we wouldn’t be able to help those affected by mitochondrial disease or keep funding research into treatments. But we also rely on you to keep spreading the word about the condition.

This month, read about the lengths one of our supporters has gone to in order to raise awareness, and funds, to help fight mito.

How people power is spreading the word

When his son Jude was diagnosed with mitochondrial disease, like so many other parents Dale had never heard of the condition. But since that day he’s made it his mission to spread the word about our work, doing more than his fair share in the fight against mito.

Dale has managed to get the Lily logo on the football kits of nearly 20 adult and youth teams in his local area of Redruth – that’s a lot of shirts! Word is spreading, and the Cornwall Youth Football League have now decided to make The Lily Foundation their charity of choice this summer.

Despite a recent injury and the onset of middle age, Dale can’t see himself slowing down any time soon. Earlier this month he and several members of Redruth’s football team successfully completed the Three Peaks challenge, raising over £4,000 in the process. Great job guys!
