Leave a gift in your will

The Mito Foundation relies heavily on donations to fund urgent research into this devastating disease and to support those with mito. Leaving a bequest is a simple yet enduring way to establish a legacy. 

A bequest can be a wonderful way of expressing your passion whilst giving hope to current and future generations. 

Mitochondrial research is relatively young and moving at an exciting pace. We are now on the cusp of developing treatments and cures for mito. Your gift will guarantee progress towards these significant medical breakthroughs.
