It's great to see @UniofNewcastle lit up green in support of #WorldMitoWeek2024 💚 Huge thanks to @ValDiLeoMito for organising this!

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

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 youtube.com/watch?v=Oh-a_E…

💚IT'S HERE!!!!!💚 💚World Mitochondrial Disease Week Has Begun!!!💚 👀Keep your eyes peeled for some fabulous posts coming up this week!👀 🧑‍🤝‍🧑Together we can continue to raise awareness around mitochondrial disease!🧑‍🤝‍🧑
