As we gather to spend time with family and friends, we reflect on the past and dream of our hopes for the future. MitoCanada has proudly supported our community throughout the year. Your generous support allows us to build impactful education resources, support important research and community initiatives. 

During this season of giving, we humbly ask you to consider supporting our foundation with an end-of-year donation, so we can continue supporting and offering hope to the MitoCommunity. You will immediately be issued a income tax receipt valid for your 2022 tax return. 

Ever since she can remember, Alyson Maxwell has experienced chronic pain and near-constant headaches. Growing up in the ‘70s and ‘80s, Alyson knew she wasn’t quite like the other kids. “I used to randomly fall down the stairs – my legs would just give out,” she says. “I often tripped and my coordination was horrible. I’d play really hard with the other kids one day and then the next day I’d hang out on the couch with a book or play quietly by myself. I think that I knew, subconsciously, that I had to recharge my body.”

MitoCanada is constantly developing new education resources. You can learn about mitochondrial health and disease through our animated videos, on-line webinars, and education guides. Explore our website to stay updated and educated! 

Bring us your best for an exhilarating challenge during the 2023 MitoSpin on Sunday, February 26, 2023. We're bringing back 10 of Canada's best MitoMotivators to keep your wheels spinning.

Whether you pedal for one hour or all five of our MitoSpin, you’ll have a blast and help MitoCanada develop life-saving programs to support those living with mitochondrial disease. Peddle at a gym with your friends, in a church basement, or in the comfort of your own home, but do plan to join us for the ride of your life.

If you are living with mito or have a child or spouse with mito and are interested in helping advance research and the development of new treatments in Canada, please enroll in MitoCanada’s Patient Contact Registry today!
