Sickle Cell Anemia is a chronic disease, meaning life long. It feels like a full time job, juggling all my medical obligations along with every day life.
1 year ago I was fresh out of my first shoulder replacement surgery.
2 years ago I was fresh out of a hip decompression surgery.
3 years ago I was sick and in the hospital.
5 years ago, began my first journey as an openly proud advocate for Sickle Cell Disease. As I was in the midst of trying to establish and launch my own foundation, and my first project was to display what a "patient care package" could be for fellow Sickle Cell patients. Luckily I was put in contact within the local provincial foundation and we did just that. The first Sickle Call Patient Care bag was put on full display in the lobby of my local hospital - what a proud moment.
It may be challenging but I know I can achieve anything I put my mind to.
