About Us
Dr. Katherine McElhinny Ph.D. C.C.A -
President MITODOC
I'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. You can e-mail me at .

Karen Roner - Secretary MITODOC
I am a Customer Service Representative for KMC Telecom. I have a background in Computer Science and Business Administration for Telecommunications. I 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.
My son Craig and I came to Florida from Las Vegas, Nevada. It was the best thing that we could have done for both of us. 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 Tristin and a son Craig. During Craig's first year of life, he presented symptoms (including vaccination induced Autism) 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.
I can be reached via e-mail at .

Ed Rodgers - MITODOC Webmaster
For the past two years I've been suffering from numerous neurological/muscle disease symptoms. Recently (April 2002) we were able to positively rule out inflammatory myopathies (PM, DM, IBM) and neurological disorders like MS or Parkinsons Disease via extensive nerve/muscle studies.
I am on active duty with the U.S. Navy and live in Crestview, Florida. I keep an online diary which you can see at http://www.rodgersweb.net/crestview. There are a few mito disorders which entirely encompass my scope of symptoms and history. As of Aug 2002 I'm awaiting the results of my 3rd biopsy.
I can be reached via e-mail at .
