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.”

cell? For more information, or to get
