" I am very passionate about creating awareness about sickle cell disease. I believe that there is so much myth that needs to be unravelled and the public should be more knowledgeable about the truth and myth of this disease. I believe people living with sickle cell disease are warriors and are faced with a lot of challenges.I know a lot of change can be done with proper health education and caregiver support and training.
