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
