UMDF - The United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation is an organization that is spending much time, effort, and resources on behalf of all of us who have family members afflicted with mitochondrial disease. They are - as stated on their logo - "Redefining Hope". Because each person's disease may present differently, (though some may be similar at certain times with the illness), we must unite in order to "wake up the world" to the plight of patients with mitochondrial disease. I urge those who are thinking about joining to join, and those looking for an organization to raise money for, contact the UMDF.
