September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month. ❤️🩸
Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects red blood cells, causing some cells to become hard, sticky, and sickle-shaped. These cells can have difficulty moving through blood vessels, which may lead to pain and other serious complications.
For some people living with sickle cell disease, blood transfusions are an important part of treatment, helping replace sickled cells with healthy red blood cells.
That’s where blood donors can make a meaningful difference. By giving blood, you’re helping ensure lifesaving blood products are available for those who may need ongoing transfusion support.
This September, help us raise awareness, support those living with sickle cell disease, and continue making a difference, one donation at a time. ❤️
