Countdown For A Cure Foundation is a collaborative force dedicated to accelerating mitochondrial research and advancing the field of mitochondrial medicine. Mitochondrial dysfunction lies at the heart of nearly every major chronic disease—from early aging and chronic fatigue to neurodegenerative disorders like ALS, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Multiple Sclerosis; from obesity and metabolic disorders such as diabetes to cardiovascular disease, cancer, autism, and mitochondrial disease; as well as connective tissue disorders like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and schizophrenia. This isn’t just about rare diseases—it’s a universal health crisis that touches us all.

We emphasize the vital importance of mitochondrial research and its profound impact on countless lives. By partnering with leading scientists and medical professionals, we ensure that every project we fund drives meaningful progress toward transformative treatments—and ultimately, cures—for conditions rooted in cellular energy dysfunction.

Many conditions are treated in isolation without addressing their underlying causes. We believe that raising awareness about mitochondrial health and the interconnected nature of our health is essential. Mitochondrial research holds the key to unlocking breakthroughs in genetic disorders, aging, and a wide range of diseases—it is the foundation of longevity and vitality.

Time is of the essence. We are committed to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by these conditions through robust research funding, comprehensive education, and dedicated efforts to raise awareness about mitochondrial health, all while providing unwavering support. Our mission is to ensure that every person, regardless of background, has hope for a healthier future.

Together, we are igniting a mitochondrial movement—creating a future of longer, healthier, and more vibrant lives.
