Show Notes

As we kick off a new year, Marcy sits down with Kira Mann and Stephanie Harry to explore the many ways MitoAction supports the mitochondrial disease community. From programs that provide diagnostic guidance and one-on-one support, to creative outlets like art shows and local walks, Kira and Stephanie break down everything MitoAction has to offer — and how you can get involved. Their passion, warmth, and deep knowledge of the challenges patients face shine through in this informative and inspiring conversation.

Kira, MitoAction’s CEO, and Stephanie, a longtime patient advocate and Mito411 coordinator, share updates on new therapies, how MitoAction collaborates with pharmaceutical companies and clinicians, and why patient voices are vital to progress. They also highlight key programs like Wondering Wednesdays with genetic counselor Devin Shuman, monthly support groups, and the growing network of Mito Champions. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, a seasoned patient, a caregiver, or a clinician looking to support your patients more meaningfully, this episode is a roadmap to connection, empowerment, and hope.
