Sickle Cell & Sickle Cell Trait is a health issue which affects Afro - Caribbeans.

Many suffer and are misunderstood on emergency entry to the hospital, this issue is just one of the issues experienced by those who suffer daily and in many cases some have lost their lives.

So, it would be good to support this charity however you can but they need your help today !!

Dear friends and supporters,

This June, we've launched our World Sickle Cell Awareness Campaign with one mission: To raise the final funds needed to give 20 children and their families a joyful, restorative summer respite break — something they truly deserve.

At our recent gala, we came together in hope and generosity. But sadly, we didn't quite reach our target. That's why we're turning to you now.

What we have planned to reach our target and raise further awareness:

June: Keep the Momentum Going

We're halfway through our campaign and making great progress, but we still need your help.

Please share our GoFundMe and donate if you can.

❤️ 19th June: World Sickle Cell Awareness Day

Online: Join us by wearing Yellow, pink or Blue, sharing a post or making a donation.

In person: Join Cianna's Smile at The Oracle Shopping Centre in Reading for an inspiring day of awareness, action, and community from 1:30 pm to 7 pm.

At 13:30 PM, we'll be hosting a special screening of our powerful docudrama, "Life in Your Blood", followed by a Q&A session with members of our community in the meeting rooms at the Oracle shopping centre. It's a chance to hear real stories and gain a deeper understanding of what it means to live with sickle cell.

From 2 PM to 7:00 PM, the energy continues in the mall with our Sit Ups for Sickle Cell Challenge!

We're inviting the public, local gyms and community groups to join us and see how many sit-ups they can do to raise funds for our summer respite break for children and families living with sickle cell. A live scoreboard will track each participant's efforts!

Let's celebrate the strength of our community and give children a summer to remember.
