The Foundation is named for David Campbell, a red-headed,
blue-eyed little boy, who, at three and a half years
old, died from a mitochondrial disease called Leigh’s
Syndrome.
Leigh’s Syndrome affects the important areas of
the brain that control breathing, eyesight, appetite,
blood pressure, and the ability to walk. The effects
of Leigh’s prevented David from walking on his
own, but for most of his life he successfully battled
many of the effects, not losing his sight or the ability
to breathe on his own until the last few weeks of his
life.
