Countdown for a Cure Launches Gala to Fight Mitochondrial Disease

A new charity dedicated to combating mitochondrial disease has launched its first major fundraising event. Countdown for a Cure, established in 2024, will host an annual gala called Evening of Energy to support research into these complex disorders. The organization was founded by Mitzi Solomon, who herself has lived with the condition.

Mitzi Solomon’s personal struggle with mitochondrial disease led her to create Countdown for a Cure. The non-profit, launched in 2024, focuses on accelerating research into treatments and potential cures. Its mission reflects Solomon’s determination to turn her experience into action.

The charity’s flagship event, Evening of Energy, aims to raise funds and awareness. As an annual gala, it will bring together supporters, researchers, and patients to drive progress in mitochondrial science.

Countdown for a Cure now stands as a dedicated force in mitochondrial research. The Evening of Energy gala marks its first step toward funding vital studies. Solomon’s leadership and personal connection to the cause fuel the organization’s commitment to finding solutions.
