Mitochondrial disease (mito) can
affect any organ in anyone of any age.
www.amdf.org.au
It is often terminal; there is no cure and
few effective treatments exist.
One Australian
child born each
week will develop
a severe or life-
threatening form
of mito.”

A Letter to Addy….
By Mocco Wollert
My
darling Addy,
Maybe you remember me, I am your
greatgrandmother. I am also the mother of Miss Applebee, the grey cat.
I must tell you that Miss Applebee has been very good and has been eating all
her food. She is a fussy cat and likes chicken and beef much more than fish.
That is rather strange because cats are supposed to like fish most of
all - well, Miss Applebee does not.
Miss Applebee sleeps a lot during the day, mostly on a soft orange
blanket on my bed. So, what do you think she does at night? She wants
to play at night when I want to sleep!
I can hear her in the night when she plays with her toys. I make her
little silver balls out of silver paper and she loooooves chasing them.
She is sitting beside me at the moment and I have told her that I am
writing to you.
I hope that you like getting a letter.
I am sending you the biggest hug and lots of kisses
Mok Mok

KIDS STORY

KIDS
nce upon a time there was a grandmother, called Mocco who
loved cats. One day, a small grey kitten came to live with her.
She called it MISS APPLEBEE. As grandma Mocco was a writer, she
invented stories of the adventures of MISS APPLEBEE for her
grandchildren.
MISS APPLEBEE grew up and is now 2 years old. She is a British
Shorthair and a most loving cat but she also rules the house.
At night she sleeps on the foot end of grandma Mocco’s bed and
she loves treats. If grandma Mocco would not know for sure that
MISS APPLEBEE is a cat, she would think that she was a human.
Mocco Wollert is a poet with 7 published books to her name. Her
8 MISS APPLEBEE stories are her first step into writing children’s
stories. She lives with her husband and MISS APPLEBEE in Brisbane,
Australia.
