Saturday, March 15th, is International Long Covid Awareness Day!

Each year, we come together on this day to represent the millions of people suffering from Long Covid.

This year, we will be uniting to show solidarity with Long Covid Support (UK). Long Covid Support collected pieces of fabric designed to represent Long Covid by the Long Covid community. The fabric pieces are being used to create a banner (by an artist living with Long Covid). The banner will be a collective tapestry representing those living with Long Covid and their caregivers.
