If you are unable to make the walk, we are asking you to get as many friends, family and supporters as possible to purchase our commemorative #SickleCellMatters t-shirt and wear it with pride on June 19th World Sickle Cell Day!  Spread the word and go to www.sicklecellmatters.net and for $18 they can purchase the shirt in a variety of colors today!
 
We want people to recognize this is an important day and to see us wearing our t-shirts everywhere: at work, in the schools, at the grocery stores, in the malls and on the streets across Michigan. #SickleCellMatters is a movement and we want everyone to feel our presence on this day!
 
Should you have any further questions about this year’s walk, please contact our Director of Outreach & Operations, Tracee D. Patterson at (313) 864-4406.
 

With your help and support, together we can raise more awareness and break the sickle cell cycle!
