Episode 61 of the Long Covid Podcast is a chat with Rosie & Colin Pidgeon. Rosie has had Long Covid for a little over a year after catching it at school. Rosie talks through her symptoms & what has helped; and Colin, her wonderfully supportive Dad, describes how he's adjusted his & his family's life to help support Rosie. 

Rosie is also a really talented artist, and is curating an exhibition at the start of December, in aid of Long Covid Kids. Links below (& these will get updated with anything new as the exhibition happens)

This is a really candid & honest discussion of how difficult this illness is, and my thanks to Rosie & Colin for being so generous with their time & energy.
