Truro Cathedral will be lit up with green light this weekend to show support for children and families living with rare genetic conditions.
The event, taking place on Saturday (September 19), from 7pm to 9pm, is part of World Mitochondrial Disease Awareness Week.
The illumination is being organised by The Noah Jordan Foundation (TNJF), a Cornish based charity supporting children and families affected by paediatric mitochondrial disease.

A spokesman for TNJF said: "By lighting Truro Cathedral green, both the event organisers and Truro Cathedral hope to help bring mitochondrial disease into the public eye and stand in solidarity with the children, families, and communities affected by it."
Mitochondrial diseases are genetic disorders that impair the function of mitochondria—the energy-producing parts of cells—and can be life-limiting.
Foundation staff will be present at the event to share information about the disease and the charity’s work.
