The reason that this picture is so special is because
3 of us have been affected by mitochondrial disease.
Next to me is Steve Marriott of the Marriott
Hotel Chain. Despite his vision, hearing, and other
difficulties associated with his mitochondrial disease,
he has truly overcome obstacles and is an inspiration.
The Marriott
Foundation for People with Disabilities is just
one of the corporation's outreach programs. Chuck, in
the red costume, is the president
of the UMDF. Despite losing his daughter Gina to
mito in 1995, he is still dedicated to this cause. Chuck
started the UMDF in his basement. Richard is on the
UMDF Board of Directors. Although he hasn't been personally
affected by mito, he is fighting for UMDF families.
As a rule of the Marriott Corporation, this picture

"The" mito-man! Jamie sports his mito gear
with friends, but on a serious side, he was a driving
force behind legislation that declared the 3rd week
in September as "Mitochondrial Disease Awareness
Week" in New Jersey! He is also affected. |
