Links galore for Mito Awareness week!
Spend today better educating yourself about mitochondrial disease - whether you are affected or know someone who is!!!

(Note from Heather: If you have more than one autistic child in the house your dr's should do basic mito testing! Mito is one of the KNOWN causes of autism!!)
