£11,000 donation
All of us at Tcharmed are delighted that we have been able to donate £11,000 to the Research Team at Newcastle University Welcome Centre for rare Mitochondrial Disorders (see below). As a small Charity, it means such a lot to be able to contribute this amount of money for research into Mitochondrial Disorder and we want to thank each and every one of our supporters. One day they WILL find treatment and a cure for this terrible disease. Please just keep helping us if you can.

£1,000 donation
Tcharmed was delighted to donate £1,000 towards Samuel’s Wish fund. Samuel Sutton is a gorgeous, brave young lad who has cerebral palsy. He is unable to have any use in his left arm and an operation to fix this will cost £60,000. The National Health is unable to fund this operation so we wish every success to the Sutton family in raising this money.

Letter from Paul and Rachel Preston:
We as a family cannot thank the kindness, humanity and emotional support provided and given by Candice & Mel from Tcharmed “Tiana Honey Watson Fund”. Special people, special family, in so many ways similar to our own, having already lost such a special daughter, Tiana to Mitochondrial Disease, Complex I of the Mitochondrial Respiratory Chain. As we have lost Kristen to Mitochondrial Disease in 1992 aged 3 months, Complex I & IV of the Mitochondrial Respiratory Chain. We know we will lose Stacey and Kieran at some point, but the support being offered, by Tcharmed, will enable a family trip we could only have dreamt about. Deams do come true, and we have Tcharmed to thank.
