Patient & Family Support

Liney’s Lovies

Liney’s Lovies provides comfort and joy to children affected by mito by gifting them soft, plush toys during times when they need extra support.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Liney’s Lovies, a heartfelt new program from MitoAction, named in honor of our beloved Caroline Payne, also known by her family and friends as “Tiny Caroliney.” Liney’s Lovies is dedicated to providing comfort and joy to children affected by mitochondrialRelated to the mitochondria. disease by gifting them soft, plush toys during times when they need extra support.

These special stuffed animals, or “Lovies,” are designed to offer solace and cheer to mito kids, making their everyday lives and medical appointments a bit easier and more comforting. This initiative aims to brighten their days and provide a tangible source of comfort when they need it most.

Our official “Soft Launch” of Liney’s Lovies will take place at the 2024 MitoAction Energy Walk in Syracuse, where all proceeds from the Kids’ Fun Run will benefit this new program. We invite you to join us in supporting this meaningful cause and helping us spread the word.

With Liney’s Lovies, we hope to bring a smile to children in our community and offer them a soft friend to help them through their journey. Join us in making a difference and honoring Caroline’s legacy by supporting this special initiative.

“Special thanks to MitoAction for supporting our idea to honor Caroline, inspired by our time at the 2024 Sandra Russell Derby Day and meeting the families who are behind Dalia’s Wish and The Matthew Harty Camper and Scholarship Funds. Special thanks also to Jamie Duff for creating the logo. And thanks to TeeTurtle and GANZ and Aurora World Inc for providing plush animals and dolls. We are looking forward to a partnership with TOTYM as well.

When we were inspired by other Mito families at Derby Day, we thought about two things that sort of define Caroline, and those are – the way she loves people and wants to make them happy, and how she loves her stuffed animals, especially Dr. Pete the Puppy, and how they help her through tough days, medical appointments and hospital stays, as well as entertain her on normal days too. And so, on the drive home from Boston in May, we came up with Liney’s Lovies, what the purpose would be, and secured some donations.  Now we’re off and running, hoping to bring comfort and a smile to our community.”

– Rhonda Payne
