Description

This is a FREE awareness event for all persons/families affected by sickle cell disease AND all those advocating for awareness. Note- Please consult your medical provider before making any changes to your health plan. As a 501(c)(3) organization, Four Giving Hearts supports various causes. Many of our efforts coordinate with the assigned awareness day, week, and month for each cause, etc. We, however, advocate for sickle cell disease (SCD) and sickle cell trait (SCT) awareness year-round. Why SCD? We aim to educate those near and far about SCD in memory of RJ McKnight, one of the hearts in “Four” Giving Hearts, and ALL warriors. "Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a common inherited blood disorder in the United States, affecting an estimated 90,000 to 100,000 Americans. SCD can lead to lifelong disabilities and reduce average life expectancy" (cdc.gov).1 Learn more about FGH and sickle cell disease- www.fourgivinghearts.org. Focusing on 1. Health, 2. Family, 3. Education, and 4. Community! We foster "for" giving hearts and responsible citizenship. #FGH #fourgivinghearts 1.
