Hayden, 15, says his life 'completely changed' after he contracted Covid in December 2020.
A previously fit and healthy teenager has missed almost two years of school due to long Covid.
Hayden, from Elvington, near Dover, says his life "completely changed" after he caught Covid in December 2020. The 15-year-old once enjoyed sports such as swimming and judo, but must now use a wheelchair, and is largely bedridden with symptoms such as severe fatigue."It's like I've woken up and I've run a couple of marathons."She said: "It's like my child is on the subs bench and he's just watching his childhood being played out.
He added: "We believe that long Covid for many people is caused by the virus not being cleared fully."More than 2m people have experienced symptoms of long Covid, government figures show.Katherine has started a Go Fund Me page in order to raise £20,000 to pay for specialist private treatment for Hayden.
