Bethany is in a fight for her life. 

We have made it our mission to fight right along with her.

Bethany was diagnosed with a very rare genetic disease; MITOCHONDRIAL DISEASE and more specifically in her case ADULT ONSET LEIGH’S DISEASE. This is a degenerative disease for which very little is known and for which there is no cure. 

Bethany has been hospitalized since the middle of January. She is at the Montreal Neurological Institute. She is currently on a ventilator, and fighting to regain some motor function. She continues to work very hard, however her options are very limited.

Another part of Bethany’s treatment plan includes a type of ‘Mito Cocktail’ that includes vitamins and supplements  that must be imported by her parents from the United States as it is not available in Canada. 

We need your support in spreading awareness that these devastating diseases exist so that research can be done in order to find adequate treatment and ultimately a CURE.

Our hope is that Bethany will be a candidate for a clinical trial that may be the miracle we are hoping for.  These trials are usually very expensive and should one become available, we will need to act fast.  This is why we are asking for your support in the form of a donation.

We hope that someone, somewhere will have an answer.

Please also join the  “Mitochondrial Wallis” facebook page. Updates on Bethany will be posted regularly. 



On behalf of Bethany’s family.

Thank you!
