Long Covid Awareness Day 2026: Solidarity and Community 'Heart' in the Sixth Year

Six years in. What started in 2020 with grassroots supporting one another, has become a global movement of millions. On this International Long Covid Awareness Day (15th March 2026), we consider the activism, the online social presence and hashtags to the heart of the Long Hauler community.

In this special episode of the Long Covid Hope Podcast, we dive into what is going on around the globe for LCAD2026, revisiting the latest market research and clinical trials, and share how we can bridge the gap between "waiting for a cure" and finding holistic healing today through wellness coaching, gentle yoga, and nervous system regulation.
