We are driven by a nationwide community of ambassadors solely focused on supporting patients and families affected by mitochondrial disease. Together, we are committed and energized to make a difference by funding the best science no matter where it is found in the world and providing critical programs and services to the patient families we serve.  

Our Mission: Promote research and education for the diagnosis, treatment and cure of mitochondrial disorders and to provide support to affected individuals and families.
