MitoCanada is a national charity working to create a world where all lives are powered by healthy mitochondria. Mitochondria are the batteries or the energy-producing parts of our cells, and when they do not work properly, the impact can be serious, complex, and life-changing.

We support Canadians living with or at risk of mitochondrial disease, along with their families, caregivers, healthcare providers, and researchers. Through education, support, awareness, advocacy, and research, we help Canadians better understand mito, navigate their journey, connect with community, and advance hope for improved care and treatments.
