Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with an FAOD for years, finding trustworthy information and connecting with others who truly understand your journey can make all the difference. In this episode, Marcy is joined by MitoAction’s Stephanie Harry to preview MitoAction’s upcoming virtual FAOD Conference and explain why it has become such a valuable resource for patients and families. They discuss how the conference is shaped by the community itself, what attendees can expect this year, and why topics ranging from gene therapy and emerging research to mental health, pregnancy, school, adulthood, and peer connection make this year's program one of the most comprehensive yet.
