About this Event
RUN WITH US. RAISE AWARENESS. SUPPORT THE FIGHT.
Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects red blood cells. Instead of being round and flexible, these cells can become hard, sticky, and crescent-shaped, making it difficult for them to move through blood vessels and deliver oxygen throughout the body.
While there is not yet a universal cure, treatments can help manage symptoms, reduce pain crises, prevent complications, and improve quality of life.
People living with sickle cell often face severe pain, fatigue, hospital visits, and challenges that are invisible to others. Education, early diagnosis, research, access to quality care, blood donations, and community support can make a real difference.
Every step we take brings us closer to better treatments, greater understanding, and a future where sickle cell disease no longer limits lives. Join us and move with purpose.
