What an amazing feat!
Charlie Russell said he wants to "make as much noise as possible for those that are still suffering with Long Covid".A Londoner with Long Covid is hoping to tackle one of his biggest challenges yet when he climbs to Everest base camp for charity in April.
The three men aim to raise £12,000 for Long Covid SOS, a charity advocating for recognition, research and rehabilitation.However, like many people living with Long Covid, Mr Russell could relapse from doing too much activity, and he is all too aware of the risks of trying to achieve his goal in Nepal.
"I had so many tests done and they all came back normal and it got to the point where I had a full body MRI and I was thinking, 'please find something' - and I think that's an awful thought process for anyone to have."Mr Russell said he felt "nobody would really listen" until he joined an online support group, which became the springboard for Long Covid SOS.
