I received a very kind reply from Dr. Akiko Iwasaki about the #LC2025HopeVideos request. Though she couldn’t make a video, she assured us they’re working hard to find biomarkers for Long COVID therapy. It’s a relief to have such a dedicated team focused on the biomarkers we desperately need. 🙏🏻

I will share the videos from the experts that have been prepared for us, LC sufferers, and parents one by one. I am so grateful to them for taking the time to prepare these videos for our little project, #LC2025hopevideos, on #LongCovidAwarenessDay2025 🙏🏻

We’ll soon have videos for #LC2025hopevideos from experts for Long COVID Awareness Day! Nancy Klimas, Michal Tal, Svetlana Blitshteyn, Resia Pretorius, and Todd Davenport have kindly said yes—more to come! 😍 They’re working for us, making progress🙏🏻 Solidarity💪
This idea came to me after my daughter said ‘Mom, do you think I’ll be better in five years? I feel like I’m only getting worse and losing hope’ Hope is the only rope we can hold on to. We’re asking experts to share progress and give us hope using #LC2025hopevideos please share🙏🏻
