Over 2.5 million people do not know that they have sickle cell trait. Often times they discover their trait status when they have a baby born with #sicklecell disease. Knowing your sickle cell status is important. #RepostForSickleCell #sicklecell101 #WorldSickleCellDay

When I lived w/#sicklecell disease I remember my first day of kindergarten — closing my eyes to check if I was feeling pain anywhere in my body. I didn’t. I felt completely normal. That would be the last time I would feel normal for a long time. #BoneMarrowTransplant @BeTheMatch
