New foundation raises Mitochondria awareness

Mitochondrial disease may not be familiar to you – and yet, research has linked it to cancer, ALS, Parkinson’s and MS.

It’s a disorder that tends to strike one in 6,000 children. But as Maria Hayes reports, it’s also showing up in adults.

For the third year, Hamilton’s Confederation Park is the location of Mito Canada’s major fundraising walk. It’s scheduled for this Saturday, September 15th beginning at noon. For more information, or to make a donation, visit the Mito Canada website.
