Amazing Amanda: My Journey Through Mito

16-year old Amanda Perrotta lost her battle with Mitochondrial Depletion Disease after a lifetime of medical setbacks and disappointments. But her life was more than a mere journey through the struggles of Mito. It was one that compelled others to live life to the fullest, love others, strive for the good in all people, and always find positive in every situation, no matter how dire. Amanda's motto was, "The cure for Mito is living life," and the unprecedented way in which Amanda lived not only inspired and ministered to all those around her, it compelled everyone to see life as the greatest blessing. This story is her incredible journey through Mito from setback to accomplishment, from dreadful diagnosis to profound insight, and from her young heart to yours.

Amanda Perrotta lived her compelling story in Troy, NY. She lost her battle with Mitochondrial Disease in November 2008, but she wished that her zest for life and her mottos of ＂B+,＂ and ＂F.R.O.G.＂ (forever rely on God) might inspire and guide other kids and families facing terminal illness.
