Throughout September, and especially during World Mitochondrial Disease Week (September 15–21, 2025), Canadians from coast to coast come together to use their energy to participate in Walk N’ Roll 4 Mito. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the event, which began in 2015 thanks to MitoChampion Louise Gibson in Mississauga, Ontario. Since then, it 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. Be part of this milestone and help us celebrate a decade of community, determination, and energy!
