The third week of September (September 20-26, 2009) is "Mitochondrial Disease Awareness Week".  Resolutions designating this week as one of awareness have been passed in several states.  Our goal is to have this week designated as an awareness week nationwide.

You can have a "Mitochondrial Disease Awareness Week" designated in your state!  To help you through this process, the UMDF has compiled information in the "Mitochondrial Disease Awareness Week" toolkit below.
