Celebrate The Mothers in Your Life!

This Mother’s Day, we’re honoring the incredible parents in our mitochondrial disease community—the fierce advocates, tireless caregivers, and everyday heroes who show up with love and strength, no matter the challenges. When you make a donation in honor of a special parent in your life—whether it’s your own parent, a family friend, or a mito parent in need of a little extra love—we’ll send them a small, heartfelt gift to brighten their day.
