Katie Maj, who herself has mitochondrial disease, causing dystonia, mobility and balance issues, among other things, has just had her milestone birthday of 21 so decided to celebrate by taking on a mammoth challenge of exercise.

Throughout the whole of October Katie has been pushing herself to her limits, swimming, trampolining, cycling, boxing, stretching, walking and more.  Katie has been part of leigh Network for over 10 years, she performed with her gymnastics troop at our Family Fun Day in 2012, has attended many of the mito family days and has always shown us support, so now please let’s show Katie some of that support back and encourage her by donating!

Katie has now completed her challenge and was able to raise over £1000, AMAZING! We can’t thank Katie enough for doing this and all those that sponsored her!
