We are pleased to announce that a new member has knocked on IMP's door. Welcome to MitoAction from the United States!

MitoAction is a very active patient advocacy group in the United States. They have a very informative website and undertake many events and activities to support and inform mitochondrial patients and their families. Have a look at their website: www.mitoaction.org

They will find a good connection with our other memberorganisations which organise similar events and activities in their own countries. Sharing knowledge and expertience about this and inspiring each other is one of IMP's goals. 

Raising awareness about mitochondrial disease is another goal which becomes stronger if more patient groups join this on a global scale. One of the reasons why MitoAction approached IMP and why IMP is so enthusiastic about their membership.

The IMP network is growing stronger, not only in the world of patients and their families, but also in the world of research and the clinicians, and in the pharmaceutical world. This network is of the essence in jointly fighting against this terrible disease and stimulating the search for a cure.

We are looking forward to working together with MitoAction!

Rare Disease Poster and other materials can be downloaded now!

28 February 2018 will be the eleventh international Rare Disease Day coordinated by EURORDIS. On and around this day hundreds of patient organisations from countries and regions all over the world will hold awareness-raising activities.

The 2018 Rare Disease Day will include a social media campaign  #ShowYourRare where you can show your support for people living with a rare disease.

Meet Yara, the face of the poster, who features in the 2018 video and is involved in rare disease research. Research is this year's theme thanks to its important role in the rare disease cause!

Share the poster with all your friends and family. Spread the word about this important day!

IMP wishes you a loving, inspiring and hopeful New Year. May all your wishes come true.

We will continue to fight for all mitochondrial patients and we hope that you will join us in this.
