Kylieghs Krew represents many people in the life of Kyliegh Parrish. We are family and friends banding together as one to achieve two goals: to help raise awareness about the mitochondrial disease and to raise funds for Kyliegh. the funds we raise will be used to enrich Kyliegh’s life as best they can. They will also be used at a higher level in the research of the mitochondrial disease through the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation.
We all adore Kyliegh. She and her family are very important to us. We are trying to make a difference the best way we know how by bringing attention to this devastating disease, and by fulfilling the needs of this precious young lady.
What are Mitochondrial Diseases ?
Mitochondrial diseases result from failures of the mitochondris – the energy – producing organelles in almost all human cells. Mitochondria are responsible for generating more than 90% of the energy required by the body to function properly. When they are defective, there is less energy available for the body to use. Those organs and ssystems that require the most energy are often the first to be affected, including the brain, muscles, kidneys and pancreas, liver, heart, eyes and ears. THERE IS NO CURE
