“As a young, previously healthy person whose life was changed by Long Covid, I’ve seen first hand how little we still understand about complex chronic illnesses. At 22, I went from traveling the world and starting my career to struggling to function. Research is what gives people like me hope. It’s the path to answers, treatments, and ultimately, prevention. Supporting CODA means investing in a future where lives aren’t derailed by complex illnesses that medicine isn’t yet equipped to handle.”
