Kevin Day, a TV comedy writer and sports presenter, is set to undertake a 60-mile walk across London to raise funds for the Lily Foundation, a charity combating mitochondrial disease.
The Lily Foundation highlights the urgency of their cause, stating that 'every other day in the UK, a baby is born who may develop serious mitochondrial disease.' This emphasizes the critical need for awareness and research.
During World Mitochondrial Disease Week, Day's challenge will serve as a dual purpose of raising funds and increasing visibility for a rarely discussed genetic condition that affects various organs.
Day expressed his commitment, stating, 'I've been helping the Lily Foundation... but now it's time for me to work as hard as they all do to raise money and awareness for the fight against mito.'
