  Mitochondria are the tiny batteries in nearly every cell in our bodies. They convert the food we eat into the energy we need to survive.
Without mitochondria, cells are unable to generate enough energy to sustain normal organ function and sometimes even life.
Mitochondrial dysfunction can also be a factor in diseases as diverse as cancer diabetes, heart, liver and kidney diseases and strokes as well as age-related diseases such as Parkinsons and Alzheimers.
Mitochondrial Disease can affect anyone. Recent research shows that about one in 200 babies in the UK are born with genetic changes that can cause it.

The Lily Foundation was founded in Lily's memory, having lost her battle to Mitochondrial Disease at just eight months old. The charity aims to give hope, answers and support to the many other children and families that face the challenges of this disease today.
