As you all know last saturday the 27th was the Walter E Brandon Sickle Cell Walk/Run in Philadelphia. It was great turn out! There were so many people there supporting, and I had a great crowd of family and friends come to walk with me (: I had a goal set of raising $750, I didn't reach this goal but I did raise (with the help of my Mom and family) $620 which is great and I am so thankful to all 23 people who donated!
My Mom and I made shirts the Thursday and Friday night before the walk. The front read ' Morgan's Sickle Cell Strong' and my blog link. The back read ' I love someone with Sickle Cell'. It was tiring and tedious work lol but I wanted to make something so my team would look cohesive and to thank them for coming!
We had a lot of fun on the walk! I love supporting and seeing other people support my disease. It made me feel really good! I am blessed to be able to WALK, for those who could not.
The SCDAA Philadelphia/DelVal Chapter really put together a great event that can bring us all together and help raise much needed awareness! It was prompt, and organized which always make things so much smoother and makes people want to participate.
ONCE AGAIN, Thank you to all who supported and walked with me! We will be back at this next year… hopefully with even more donations and walkers.
Stay Strong
Morgan
