7formation Ltd fundraising for Long Covid Kids
Hi everyone, we're 7formation, a construction company based in Corby. We've decided to fundraise for Long Covid Kids this year by running a Half Marathon around Rutland in April and an 87 miles Bike Ride around Sleaford, Lincolnshire in May.
"In July ’21, one of our shareholder's daughter Hannah sadly suffered severely when she contracted Covid. Hannah was incredibly poorly and in October 21 she became much worse, suffering many debilitating symptoms, but among the worst of them was paralysis from the waist down.
Pre-Covid, Hannah was a bright, happy, funny, dance-loving, kind and caring 13yr old, that was living a fulfilled life, with every opportunity ahead of her. She loved the school where she thrived and was incredibly happy and settled.
Now at 14, she struggles to get through the day, with the many debilitating symptoms and constant pain that she now lives with. Hannah has been affected both physically and neurologically / cognitively.
Despite all of this, she is a total inspiration and an amazing and resilient young lady, never complains and just gets on with a smile on her face. She never lets on to others the true suffering that she endures daily
Unfortunately the NHS are currently unable to offer any treatments for Long Covid, even when placed under the care of Long Covid Clinics, which heavily focus on Psychology. Any specialist medical care has to be sought privately.
Children are being incredibly let down by a healthcare system that doesn’t understand the illness, this cruel disease is robbing many children of their childhoods.
"Anyway, what we're writing for isn’t necessarily for Hannah’s family directly (although Hannah would in turn benefit). Thankfully a lifeline for us, and many families is an amazing charity called Long Covid Kids. https://www.longcovidkids.org/
Please consider helping this amazing charity that has been an absolute lifeline for Hannah’s family, and for many others.
