Hello All,

I am sure most of you are aware that September is Sickle cell awareness month, and that being the case, we should all try our very best to create more awareness this month than usual. Here are a few suggestions on what we can do to spread the word:

1. Take part in the challenge and help make it viral: Bold Lips for Sickle Cell challenge to raise awareness of SCD. Not only will it bring sickle cell to the forefront and prompt people to do a little research to learn more about what it is, but it will also lead people who may not otherwise be linked to #TeamSickleCell to join the cause and make donations for much-needed research or http://www.wjbf.com/story/26422140/sickle-cell-challenge-hoping-to-...
   
2. Take part in a walk in your city, like the SOS walk: http://www.soswalk.org/
3. Host a blood drive and get people to donate blood: http://www.redcrossblood.org/hosting-blood-drive
4. Help raise funds to support the production of this documentary about SCD: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/spilled-milk/x/5152378
5. ANY WAY YOU FEEL INCLINED TO!

Hope you are all well and wish you a great, pain free month and rest of the year!
