“Not only as a parent, but as a member of society I believe it is of utmost importance to help raise awareness for any type of disease or disorder. At the end of the day every little bit counts,” said Dr. Tim Verwest, DMD of Pediatric Dentistry of Ft. Myers.

The Southwest Florida Group of the UMDF will be hosting the Inaugural Energy for Life Walkathon. This event will be held at 8:30 am on Saturday, November 14, 2015, at the Estero Recreation Center located at 9200 Corkscrew Palms Blvd., Estero, Florida 33928.

The mission of the Walk and UMDF is to promote research, education, treatment, and cure of the mitochondrial disorders and to provide support to individuals and families affected by this disease.
