Join the 25th Annual Sickle Cell Walk/Run
Naab Road Surgical Center invites you to participate in the 25th Annual Sickle Cell Walk/Run, a community event dedicated to raising awareness about sickle cell disease. As a leading healthcare provider in the Health category, we are committed to promoting better health outcomes and supporting individuals living with this genetic condition.
What is Sickle Cell Disease?
Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects the red blood cells. People with this condition have abnormal hemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. The abnormal hemoglobin causes red blood cells to become stiff and sickle-shaped, leading to various complications.
Sickle cell disease primarily affects individuals of African, Caribbean, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean descent. It can result in chronic pain, anemia, organ damage, and an increased risk of infections. The 25th Annual Sickle Cell Walk/Run aims to raise funds for research, support services, and advocacy efforts to improve the lives of those affected by this disease.
