Countdown For A Cure is a collaborative force dedicated to accelerating mitochondrial research to advance the field of mitochondrial medicine, focusing on conditions and diseases stemming from cellular energy dysfunction. We are especially focused on highlighting how targeting mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to widespread health benefits from supporting healthy aging and mental well-being to aiding recovery from infections, chronic conditions, and diseases.

A major challenge today is that many conditions are treated in isolation, without addressing their root causes, particularly the essential role of mitochondria. Most people are unaware that poorly functioning mitochondria lie at the core of nearly every major health issue, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, mental health, addiction, Autism spectrum disorder, heart disease, diabetes, mitochondrial disorders, and more. It’s essential that we raise awareness of the interconnectedness of health and underscore the importance of mitochondrial research for overall well-being, longevity, and vitality.

We believe that time is of the essence as we work to improve the lives of all individuals and families affected by these conditions through research funding, education, and unwavering support, regardless of their ethnicity, religion, or race.
