7th Annual Sickle Cell Walk (1st ReCap)

Being able to attend the 7th Annual Stomp Out Sickle Cell Walk (SOS) meant so much to me. It gave me renewed hope for my daughter’s future. Hope in knowing that I am not fighting this battle alone, and together we will stomp out this disorder in all communities. My hope is that Sickle Cell Disease will not be the end of our children and family members, but that one day there will be no more pain, the cases will be reduced significantly because future parents will be empowered with information, and an easier cure will exist for those born with this genetic disorder.

I want publicly say thank you to everyone who has made the Sickle Cell cause their own. I pray that we will continue to fight this disease together.

For all of us parents who are praying over the health of our children, remember “You are not alone, side-by-side we are standing praying for our loved ones together.

Questions & Responses

The best part of participating in a the walk is knowing that I can make an impact on a very important cause.  As a nurse I’ve taken care of various patients in full crisis. Giving time and money towards research in support of a cure is well worth my efforts. In addition, running, jogging, talking and walking with friends was quality time spend towards better physical and emotional health.

We participated as a team. I signed up with my trainer – Trey Douglas from Health and fitness 4 You, as I understand his mother has Sickle Cell. I wanted to show support, there were about 8 or 9 of us including 2 small children.
