September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month

A time to learn, listen, challenge misconceptions and stand alongside the thousands of people living with sickle cell.

Awareness isn’t just about knowing the name of the condition. It’s about understanding a little more about what sickle cell is and how it can affect people’s lives, so that we can show greater compassion, empathy and understanding to the sickle cell community.

Sickle cell can be a debilitating, unpredictable and difficult condition to manage, affecting people physically, emotionally, socially and in many other ways.

So this September, take a moment to learn something new, challenge what you think you know and help us spread greater understanding.
