Questions and Answers
Who is Evan?
Evan is an 8 year old boy diagnosed with Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy and Epilepsy.
What is Mitochondrial Disease?
Mitochondrial diseases result from failures of the mitochondria, which are responsible for creating more than 90% of the energy needed by the body to sustain life. When mitochondria fail, less and less energy is generated within the cell. Many systems in our bodies only work because of mitochondrial energy. Without healthy mitochondria cell injury and even cell death can follow. There is no cure.
How can I help?
