The Abel Foundation provides support, guidance, friendship and hope to families affected by Mitochondrial Disease across the UK.
Learn More About UsWhen Abel was born his blood was showing very high acid levels. He was 3 weeks old before his parents Tony and Claire could take him home and were left in the dark as to what had caused the problem.
After months of uncertainty and searching for answers, Abel was diagnosed with Mitochondrial Disease. The Abel Foundation was created to ensure that other families would not have to face that journey alone.
Today, The Abel Foundation exists to support families, provide information and offer comfort when it is needed most.
Read Abel's StoryThe Abel Foundation was created to aid the sufferers of Mitochondrial Disease and help their families deal with this life limiting disease. Currently there is no cure.
We run a 24 hour support network via phone, email and text and are on hand to help people when they need support or even just someone to listen.
We are in the process of building a community room for support groups to meet and share their knowledge.
As we grow, we aspire to provide onsite counsellors for hospitals and apply for financial aid for those needing equipment and respite.
