The third annual SICK Pride will take place from 2-4pm Sunday 16th November 2025 under the giant conifer tree in the beautiful Arderne Gardens 222 Main Rd, Claremont, Cape Town. Everyone affected by energy-limiting chronic illness is invited.
Energy-impaired people living with ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) or Long COVID are too Sick to parade, but we can lounge in style. This year’s theme is Comfort in Community and kicks off a year of monthly meet-ups to build strength in our solidarity. Come and hang out with your fellow spoonies and help us make our ‘invisible illness’ visible.
There are more than 400 million people suffering from Long COVID globally and 67 million with ME. This year we are celebrating the Decode ME research discovery of 8 genetic markers proving the neurological and immunological basis of energy-limiting chronic illness.
This will be a Covid-safe masked event: N95 respirator masks will be made available.
For more information, Whatsapp Mlindeni Gabela 078 937 9393 or Ori McGarry 079 032 8339. This event is organised by SICK (the Society for the Inclusion of Chronic Knowledge) supported by MELCuSA (ME and Long Covid Unite South Africa). SICK T shirts will be available for a donation.
