On April 12, 2021, The LA South Chamber of Commerce through its Hope Foundation formed the Sickle Cell Initiative. The goals of the Initiative are to promote education regarding sickle Cell Disease, support local and national sickle cell CBOs, and increase political will to encourage state and federal funding.
Those of us in the sickle cell community, patients, families, and friends have been living with the sorrow and frustration of sickle cell for many years. Although there is some promising research using stem cells to find a cure for the disease, the landscape on the local level is bleak.
As members of the LA South Chamber and Hope Foundation we can help by becoming educated on sickle cell, and supporting the activities of sickle cell organizations like Cayenne Wellness, SCDAA Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, and Axis Advocacy. We can also use our voices to support legislation that will improve funding for research and training.
If you have questions on sickle cell disease or how you can help, please contact Nancy Rene nancymrene@yahoo.com.
Cecil McLinn LASCC Board Member who passed in January 2021 was a tireless advocate for sickle cell disease. He raised money for research and education in support of his daughter Tiffany who had the disease.
