I LOVE the creativity and thoughtfulness of this precious girl!
9-year-old Mighty Girl Makenzie Lawrey of Cape Coral, Florida has an ambitious goal -- she's just published a book about her younger brother in hopes of raising a million dollars to help find a cure for his rare condition, mitochondrial disease. In her book, "The Mighty Mito Superhero," Makenzie transforms her 6-year-old brother, Gavin, into a superhero, Mito Action G, who defeats the evil villain, Mito. And, this incredible big sister is already well on her way toward her goal, having sold more than 500 books and raised $20,000 in less than a week.
Along with raising funds for research, Makenzie also hopes to raise awareness about the disease -- many children with the incurable condition do not reach their teen years. She spoke with Gavin's doctors about the disease, along with conducting her own research, in order to write about it in a way that everyone could understand. As Makenzie writes in her book, "Gavin is my superhero... I wanted to write this book so there was a better way for people to understand what Mito is. It makes me feel really good because I know that even if he doesn't feel good I can still help in a way."
All funds raised from the sale of Makenzie's book are being donated to the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation. To support this Mighty Girl's campaign, you can order a copy of "Mighty Mito Superhero" on Amazon at http://amzn.to/MB6P8y
