There’s a desperate need to increase awareness of #rarediseases, including #mitochondrialdisease

Without awareness, effective treatments will never be found

This #RareDiseaseDay, join us in fighting mito and finding hope for those affected

It's great to see @UniofNewcastle lit up green in support of #WorldMitoWeek2024 💚

Huge thanks to @ValDiLeoMito for organising this!

Such a powerful film produced by the @PolGFoundation for World Mitochondrial Disease Awareness Week, highlighting the devastating impact of POLG-related mitochondrial disease on young people and their families. #WorldMitoWeek2024

[Laura Alexandra Smith @LauraSmithNCL]

Raising awareness and funding research into #POLG disease is vital to help understand the causes and identify treatments for people living with POLG disease, but this crucial research will also likely benefit many other neurological diseases including #epilepsy and #dementia

💚IT'S HERE!!!!!💚
💚World Mitochondrial Disease Week Has Begun!!!💚
