I and my 5 kids struggle with mitochondrial disease. This news clip does an excellent job show what mitochodrial disease is and how it affects us and many others.

Searching for a cure for mitochondrial disease will help the community as a whole.

I was in a doctor’s office. The nurse was taking down the information before the doctor comes in such as what medicines, my general medical history, and why I was there. I told her, “I am here because I had a seizure.” The nurse looked up at the medical file, on the computer screen. After a minute or so…
