The Mitochondrial Disease Outreach Center is a group of individuals in
the Central Florida area that is working together to support research into,
promote awareness of, and offer support to families
affected by a Mitochondrial disease.
We are working closely with medical specialists, and doctors interested in Mitochondrial
research to spread the word in the medical community so that more medical
professionals will be able to recognize the symptoms of a Mitochondrial disorder
and have accurate information and resources available to them to aid in accurate
diagnoses.
Currently, wheels are in motion to formalize the group into a non-profit
organization. This will allow us more flexibility and power to conduct
fundraising efforts and sponsor local events to raise awareness of the diseases
while giving something back to the public.
