My son has been battling MitoDZ for nearly 7 years now and our family could attest to the challenge of educating family, friends, and teachers about this challenge. Thank you for creating this piece; it will assist in making this complex situation a bit more understandable.

If this is how our teacher

If this is how our teacher explained to us how energy (ATP) is released from mitochondria, I think it would be VERY EASY for to understand during our elementary years.  The educational video explained it well in a simple manner - fantastic!   Much better than discovery channel ;-) he.
