Event Description

History of Stomp Out Sickle Cell Walk
For many years, the Sickle Cell community voiced interest in having a walk, but no one group was able to coordinate it by themselves. In 2007, several community-based groups and medical institutions came together to sponsor and promote the First Annual Stomp Out Sickle Cell Walk. Through the hard, unified work of several organizations, the First Annual Stomp Out Sickle Cell Walk was held on September 18, 2007. The midpoint of the walk was the Washington Hilton, where the Sickle Cela disease Association of America was holding their annual convention. About 300 walkers participated in this collaborative effort. This year, this same dedicated group is hoping to double the number of walkers and expand the awareness and sponsorship of the Walk.
