This Christmas, help us to fight for a brighter future for the Thodes
Christmas is a time of togetherness. But families with mitochondrial disease (mito) don’t know how many Christmases they’ll share.
Last Christmas was stark for the Thode family.
They thought it would be their last together.
Mum Bec, and her children Lachlan and Ellie Thode all suffer from mito. It’s one of the most commonly diagnosed genetic diseases.
Mito is debilitating and life threatening. It robs the body’s cells of energy. It can cause multiple organ dysfunction and failure, fatigue, muscle pain and blindness.
This year, with your help, we can bring hope to families like the Thodes so that Christmas is a time of joy.
Your gift can light the path for Aussie families with mito

"From the first weeks of my diagnosis, the Mito Foundation team has been incredible. They've helped us understand this disease and get NDIS support. Mito is heartbreaking; it turns all our lives upside down. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the Mito Foundation." Bec
