Walk for Sickle Cell

On Oct. 22, the 3K Walk for Sickle Cell in Houston will take place.It is estimated that more than 300 sickle cell families and patients will gather to support individuals with sickle cell disease. All funds raised from this Walk will go to support the agency's annual Camp Cell-A-Bration, a camp for children between the ages of 6 and 14 with sickle cell disease.
