An initiative of International Mito Patients (IMP), World Mitochondrial Disease Week is an annual campaign that raises awareness of mito through educational, fundraising and advocacy activities.
This is a meaningful occasion where the global community unites to raise awareness of mito. We will hold a number of events, illuminate landmarks in green all over the world, and spread the word by sharing stories and mito facts.
We will update 2023 events information in the coming months. If you have any feedback or questions, please let us know.
