MitoCure exists to educate communities about Mitochondrial Disease and to generate financial support for the most promising research for a cure.
The Foundation for a Cure for Mitochondrial Disease, Inc. was founded by Bill and Sandy Cunningham in August of 2000 after their daughter Kelly was diagnosed with a Mitochondrial Disease. Since that time, Kelly’s fight with the disease has ended; she passed away in 2005. Not wanting other parents to experience the same heartache, Bill and Sandy remain committed to finding a cure for Mitochondrial Disease through the work of MitoCure.
MitoCure exists to educate communities about Mitochondrial Disease and to generate financial support for the most promising research for a cure. All operating costs are covered through private contributions and all board members are volunteers. This allows 100 % of all donations to go directly to research efforts around the world.
