The world is reeling from the devastating loss of young Prince Frederik of Luxembourg at just 22 years old.

Frederik was born with the rare PolG Mitochondrial disease.

The disorder causes massive organ failure after damaging the body’s cells by stealing its energy.

“I’m not sure I understood all the consequences of PolG when I first got diagnosed.
