Embrace the Spirit of Community
In this section, we’ll share a trove of inspiring ideas to kickstart your planning and stories from successful fundraisers to fuel your motivation. Plus, you’ll find all the information you need to ensure your event aligns with our goals.
Together, let’s harness the power of community to make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by MED13L.

Strides for Stripes: Move for Mito
On October 15, the MED13L community strides together, and we’re hoping you’ll be part of it. Walking, rolling, running, dancing, therapy steps, and stroller miles all move us forward. Whatever movement looks like for your family, it counts here. We’re moving to raise $20,000 for MED13L research, and your gift is what makes that research possible.
Why we’re moving
Could mitochondria hold a clue to treating MED13L Syndrome? That’s the question our next study chases. Researchers have found evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction in MED13L patient-derived cells, and the next step is to study patient-derived brain cells to understand what’s happening and look for treatments.
What your gift funds
Your support helps the research team:
- Study how mitochondria work in MED13L brain cells
- Identify pathways that could be targeted
- Screen existing medicines and possible new treatments in the lab
- Turn an early scientific clue into a real research opportunity
This is how a small community moves the science forward, one gift at a time.
