I Sickle Cell Fight Draws Support After a successful “Sickle Cell Buddy Walk” last month, members of the Sickle Cell Anemia Founda tion of Oregon are reflecting on their successes while looking to raise community awareness of the dan gerous blood ailment. Georganne Pierce was the cap tain of the “Soulful Strutters” relay team at the walk. She said her in volvement was personal because the loss of a friend and multiple family members who had succumb to sickle cell. Another participant named M ar garet, lost her husband to the dis ease. Pastor M arcia Taylor, execu tive director and founder o f the Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation of Oregon, says she is very grateful for the com m unity support at Marcia Taylor events such as the Sickle Cell Buddy W alk to inform and edu cate the com m unity and to spread the word o f her foundation to parents, to be supportive o f sickle cell patients and to help finan cially when funds afford. Afflicted with the disease her self, Taylor said working with a pri mary care physician or hematolo gist is the key to handling the dis ease which affects around 90,000 Americans today. “This disease is not going away and we really need the support o f the com m unity to make our voice heard so that a cure will be fo u n d ! T reatm ent helps, such as blood transfusions, which presents its own set o f problem s, hydration, antibiotics and pain m edication, but it is only a band aid,” she said. Pastor Taylor lost her youngest daughter to sickle cell and said, “In honor of my daughter, Ramona, Linda and Terry Mitchell and oth ers, this is my legacy to the commu nity.” Have you been tested for sickle cell?
