Walk N’ Roll 4 Mito 2026

2026 National Walk N’ Roll 4 Mito Event

Raising funds for MitoCanada

50000

Throughout September, Canadians from coast to coast come together to use their energy to participate in Walk N’ Roll 4 Mito. Last year marked the 10th anniversary of the event, which began in 2015 thanks to MitoChampion Louise Gibson in Mississauga, Ontario.

Since then, the event has grown into a powerful, nationwide movement. Teams across the country walk, roll, and rally with one shared goal: to ensure all lives are powered by healthy mitochondria. Thank you to all the teams for being part of this milestone and helping us celebrate over a decade of community, determination and energy!

How to Join Walk N’ Roll 2026

Joining the event is easy. Simply choose a date, time, location, physical activity, and fundraising goal during Mitochondrial Disease Awareness Month (September). Then, Walk N’ Roll individually, join a team or create a team with others in your community for an hour, a day, or throughout the entire week. You have the freedom to tailor your activity, and we will support you every step of the way.

The funds raised during Walk N’ Roll 4 Mito are crucial—they support our educational initiatives, raise valuable awareness, and fund vital research aimed at preventing and treating mitochondrial disease, as well as supporting mitochondrial health.

Hazel’s Light Up for Mito Walk

Hazel’s Light Up for Mito Walk

Join the Vancouver Island families and supporters living with mitochondrial disease for the 4th annual Hazel’s Light Up for Mito Walk! This annual walk is led by MitoCanada’s mitoAmbassador Hazel Currie, who lives with MNGIE (mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalopathy), an ultra-rare mitochondrial disease. While thousands of Canadians live with mitochondrial disease, Hazel remains the only known case of MNGIE in British Columbia and is using her energy to help raise awareness, inspire hope and educate others about mito.
