Chronic = Constant

It's a constant battle for us people! Pain everyday will make anyone miserable! I won't stop till my fellow fighters are living the fulfilling lives they should be and getting all of the correct treatment and information.

Hello all (: 

Its always great news to hear of great things happening for Sickle Cell! I went to CHOP for all of my childhood and even though it always seemed to me that they didn't care about us (the Hematology floor was seriously outdated compared to others), it's great to see that they are taking some behind the scenes action. Please take the time to read this brief article!

"The symptoms include severe pain, anemia, chest pain and breathing problems, stroke, infections, and many others," said CHOP scientist Gerd Blobel. "So it's a really serious disease." - From the article CHOP researchers make progress on sickle cell disease treatment  by Jessica McDonald

Update

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you all that my leg is feeling a lot better. Thank god I nursed myself back to health before it became a major crisis! I know there are some Sickle Cell Warriors out there who aren't doing so great and I pray for y'all everyday!!! 

We are a family of fighters and survivors, we will get through this one step at a time!

The most wonderful time of the year!

Beisdes Christmas of course lol, September is the most wonderful time of the year for People living with Sickle Cell and alll of our supporters! It brings in lots of support and events since September is SICKLE CELL AWARENESS MONTH! The event that I support every year is the SCDAA Philly/DelVal Chapter Walk-A-Thon. It is the first Sickle Cell Event  I got involved with and haven't stopped going a year since.

I am going to be campaigning like crazy to get people to walk for my cause and for the SCDAA. Click on MY FUNDRAISING PAGE to join my team and/or donate through MY page! my goal this year is $750 and I have a month and a day to reach it!
