Help Those with Sickle Cell That are Dreaming of a Cure

Sickle Cell patients currently have one option for a chance of a cure to their debilitating disease, 100,000 people live with SCD in the US. Most are of African Descent. The numbers are clear, only 23% of African Americans are likely to find a match. That is due to the lack of diverse donors . We have partnered with Be The Match in effort to increase those numbers to give Sickle Cell Warriors a greater chance at a cure. When you join Be The Match , you join a network of people that have decided to save someone's life.
