Mitochondrial Disease affects 1 in 4 people, that means that every 15 minutes a child is born who will develop a mitochondrial disease by the age of 10. Being a Pediatrician for over 25 years, I have cared for children with Mitochondrial Disease. I have one family that has lost two children to this disease and I have pledged to help their surviving child raise a million dollars for a cure. His hope is that no other family has to go through the pain and suffering that his family has endured. Supporting this research not only helps in finding a cure for Mitochondrial Disease, but also helps with other related diseases like: Autism, Diabetes, Parkinson’s Disease and some cancers.
