When sickle cell warriors were surveyed, they expressed they struggle with...
• Helplessness. There are limited treatment options available. And the ones that are recommended result in nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and bone marrow suppression.
• Depression. Frequent hospitalization and the uncertainty around what might trigger pain, keep warriors from enjoying the simple pleasures of life and hold them back from realizing their full potential.
• Lack of Information. The Sickle Cell community is one of the most under-served in the world. There are few science-backed resources that empower warriors with the tools they need to get back in charge of their health.
