Fannie's Fighters

Dear Friends and Family of Kyle, John, and Fannie Bradley,
Every 30 minutes, a child is born who will develop a mitochondrial disease by age 10.  Each year, 1000 to 4000 children in the United States are born with a mitochondrial disease.   While exact numbers of children and adults suffering from the disease are hard to determine due to so many misdiagnosed cases, it is now known the disease is approaching the frequency of childhood cancers.   Currently there is no cure.
To all of us, Fannie Bradley is the face of mitochondrial disease.  And because of that we HAVE to help find a cure.  On April 30th the Atlanta Chapter of the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation is hosting a walkathon – Energy for Life:  All Aboard for a Cure.  Join us, Fannie’s Fighters…Let’s walk for the cure, let’s show our support for the Hinson family, and let’s kick some MITO FANNIE!

Save the Date:
Energy for Life Walkathon – All Aboard for a Cure
Saturday, April 30th at 9:30 am
Thrasher Park – Norcross, Georgia

And afterward
