This Sunday, December 19th, I, along with my wife and kids, will be participating in a short 3k walk at Kiwanis Park in Tempe to benefit Mitochondrial Disease research, and namely, to benefit this amazing little girl pictured here. This is Mylee Grace, and she has Mitochondrial Disease, a disease for which there is no cure.
Mitochondrial Disease limits the the mitochondria’s ability to convert food into energy. To me, Mitochondrial Disease was obscure, but when I found out that mitochondrial dysfunction is an underlying cause behind Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, ALS, Autism, Spectrum Disorders, and some Cancers, I realized that Mitochondrial Disease is anything but obscure.
Mylee and her parents have shown tremendous courage throughout this trial, and there will undoubtedly be more obstacles further down the road for this family and others who are experiencing similar challenges. I ask that, if you have the opportunity please support this little girl; this family; and those like them who may be going through the same things. If you can be in Tempe, on Sunday morning between 8 – 9, go and register, but if you can’t, no donation is too small.
Put yourself in this family’s shoes: What if this were your little girl? Short of going through what this family goes through on a daily basis, I urge you to figure out a way to show your support by either participating in this event, or by making a donation to this most deserving of causes.
Please visit the event information page HERE, join the team and/or make a contribution. Remember, no donation is too small–everything makes a difference.
