Who or What is CureMito!?

We are a non-profit 501c charity composed of a partnership between the families of children with mitochondrial functional disorders and the business community. Although an independent organization, we have strong connections to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles

Our Mission: To establish and support a local center of excellence for the innovative research, treatment and education in mitochondrial disease and functional disorders.

Our Vision: Our vision is to enable families affected by mitochondrial dysautonomia and functional disorders to benefit from the clinical treatment and labratory research provided by Dr. Boles and his colleagues and to raise money for the research needed to improve these existing treatments.

What is Mitochondrial Disease?

Mitochondria are the energy suppliers to the entire body. Everything from muscle function to digestion, heart and kidney function and much more are made possible by the energy from mitochondria. Defects in the mitochondria’s ability to provide this energy can cause major illnesses including Autism, Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome, SIDS, firbromayalgia, severe migraine, chornic fatigue syndrome, chronic pain and others. Children with mitochondrial disease often have several dysfunctions at once making diagnosis and treatment extremely difficult. Some diseases are fatal and other, non-lethal  dysfunctions can mean a lifetime of suffering.

Meet some of the children who suffer from Mitochondrial disorders.

Make a difference in the lives of children who suffer form mitochondrial dysfunctions!
