Today is International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD).

Mitochondrial disease affects people in different and often hidden ways. On this day, we recognise the resilience of every person living with mito and the families who support them. We are committed to providing excellence in clinical care, education, and research so our community feels seen, supported, and understood.

Together, we can build a more inclusive future.

Research is the driving force behind progress in mitochondrial disease care. Ongoing studies into mitochondrial function are offering real hope for reversing or reducing symptoms.

Scientists are uncovering new possibilities for treatment and a healthier future for those affected.

This World Mitochondrial Diseases Week, we recognise the vital role of research in bringing hope to patients, families, and the global mito community.

Mitochondria are our body's batteries. When they don’t work properly, it can disrupt energy production and lead to a wide range of symptoms.

From muscle weakness and fatigue to heart issues and developmental delays, mitochondrial diseases (mito) impact daily life in profound ways.

They can affect any organ and cause any symptoms at any age. This is why mito is so hard to recognise and diagnose. It doesn’t follow a single pattern.

By understanding how mitochondrial function is linked to daily symptoms, we move closer to earlier diagnosis and better support.

Help raise awareness and support vital research.
