Ph.D. C.C.A - President MITODOC

McElhinny Family, Christmas 1999I've lived on the coast of Florida for most of my life and understand why the tourists love it here: it is truly paradise!  My husband and I have three kids with mitochondrial disorders, all doing very well.   We both enjoy being involved with our support group and being with such wonderful people who truly understand what we are going through.  As a group we have a lot of great ideas in the works: check back often to keep posted!

Please contact me if you need information, directions to the meetings, or you just want to talk.  I can be reached at:  

 


Faith Varcadipane - Secretary MITODOC

 I am a hair designer and hold a background in arts and secretarial sciences. Mike, my husband owns a lawn maintenance business. Together, we continue to learn about the disease, help fight to find a cure and get the word out to increase the general public awareness of Mitochondrial Diseases. 

Our family resides in the vacation capital...Florida.  We know God has a plan that is greater than we can understand. The very fact that He brought all the members of our MITO-DOC Support Group to live in the same area is proof enough. He works all for good. 

I have two children, a daughter Nikki, and her little brother Noah. During Noah's first year of life,  he presented symptoms that led us through a world of new knowledge regarding Mitochondrial Disease, and now I am trying to teach others all the things we learned along the way, and hopefully make someone else's life a little easier along the way.
