Jon Paradowski is a regular guy from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada that has a dream, the “Faces of Mito”.

Jon has a family member with a secondary mitochondrial disease and his dream is to celebrate MitoCanada’s 10^th year anniversary by running across Canada virtually and to show the many “Faces of Mito”.
