Long Covid girl, 10, completes NHS walking challenge unaided
A 10-year-old girl, who was left unable to walk unaided after testing positive for Covid, has completed laps of her garden without help.
Emily, from Yeovil in Somerset, needed a walking aid to complete laps of her garden for months after the virus left her in extreme pain.
She tested positive for Covid-19 in September 2021 and spent 14 nights at Yeovil Hospital.
Inspired by Captain Sir Tom, she is raising money to thank the NHS workers that helped her after her diagnosis.
