Hear ye, hear ye...September is National Sickle Cell Disease Awareness Month. An opportunity for our community to stand up, speak up, and stand out! Every individual living with sickle cell disease, young and old, has a story to tell. A journey of medical disparity and healthcare bias, of disappointment and mistreatment, of false accusation and hope, of pain and perseverance. Every story is worthy of lending an ear to hear. To listen and to learn. To challenge each of us to do more to be compassionate and to do our part to advocate for a cure that is 109 years overdue! #BeBrave #StayStrong #HaveFaith #KeepWinning #SickleCellAware #SickleStrong https://www.instagram.com/p/B1-ZMMPgqm4/?igshid=c05a6ant8cym
