Spreading Awareness of Sickle Cell Disease through Education, Advocacy, and Empowerment
We will be kicking off Sickle Cell Awareness Month with this community awareness event. We will ride, walk and run for sickle cell disease. We will also host a blood driven in honor of our sickle cell warriors!
Every other Tuesday in each monthly, we will come together and discuss a topic that is important to those with sickle cell disease and to their caregivers. The topics can be discussed with a special guest or with just members of our B Strong Team. At our meeting dates to your calendars and join usContinue reading "The B Strong Group Tuesday Chat"
Our special guest will be Dr. Yvette Miller, Executive Medical Officer with American Red Cross. We will discuss the importance of diet when it comes to blood donation. Specifically we will discuss the issue of low iron (or hemoglobin) in African American donors and how diet can improve that condition.
