Welcome to the 6th Annual Power of 8 MTB in Support of MitoCanada!

The Power of 8 MTB's goal is to bring riders (new/old) together to raise awareness and funds for Mitochondrial Disease, while riding through beautiful Buffalo Pound Provincial Park for a charity close to my heart - MitoCanada. (www.mitocanada.org)

All of the proceeds from the event go to MitoCanada - Our goal is to raise a $1,500 this year, which is equivalent to each of the last 5 years!

What is Mitochondria? Every human on the planet is fuelled by trillions of tiny powerhouses called mitochondria. Present in almost every cell in our bodies, these microscopic energy generators keep our hearts pumping, lungs breathing and pedals spinning.

Mito diseases can affect anyone of any age at any time. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, Cancers, blindness and countless other conditions are attributable to mito. There is no cure and few effective treatments.

What is MitoCanada? MitoCanada is creating a world where all lives are powered by healthy mitochondria.

Established in 2010, by a group of passionate parents, the foundation is now the united voice of Canadians living with, or at risk of developing, mitochondrial disease. Together with you, our collective energy is reducing the devastating impact of mito.

Thank you in advance for spending your day with us and riding for those who can't & leaving your mitochondria on the trail! <3
