The cause behind the cake

One in 200 Australians carry a genetic change that puts them at risk of developing mitochondrial disease, or mito. 

Mito robs the body's cells of energy, and can cause organs to fail. There's no cure yet—but your Munch can help change that.

By hosting a Munch for Mito you'll help fund:

  • Vital support services for people living with mito.
  • Essential research into prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
  • Advocacy that gives voice to families across the country.

Your effort can make an impact

Hold your Munch. Share mito facts. Ask guests to chip in. It’s a simple way to raise funds that really matter. Together, we’ll get one bite closer.

$250

One-on-one phone support for a newly diagnosed family navigating mito for the first time. When answers feel out of reach, this support brings reassurance and practical advice.

$500

Fund lab-based research, investigating new ways to diagnose and treat mitochondrial disease.
Every dollar brings us closer to a breakthrough.

$1,000

Every day, new mito treatments are being tested overseas, but Australians risk missing out. Raising $1,000 helps fund clinical leaders who can bring these trials home.
