HAPPY MITO

Frederik deals with the daily challenges of his mitochondrial disease by staying positive and loving a good joke. His overwhelming desire is to help others like him, who face these significant challenges, to remain positive and happy.

And so, the Happy MITO line was born to further spread awareness through eye-catching designs, light-hearted humour and even a touch of sarcasm.
