Participating in the Sickle Cell Red Run is an AWESOME experience.  It gives us a chance to engage with the community, see our patients in a space that is fun/outdoors, other than in clinic, and bring families together, all while bringing awareness to sickle cell disease.  Every year this run/event has grown and, more and more people show up to participate, it’s a good time.  I also think this event makes everyone feel comfortable about discussing sickle cell disease, in addition to educating those who are not familiar with sickle cell.  Sickle Cell is one of the least funded genetic blood disorders, and the donation that we receive at the Sickle Cell Center for Southern Louisiana is used to support our patients/families, keep the center running smoothly, and it also helps in emergency situations for our patients, such as, if they need food to help feed their families, or transportation to get to and from their doctor’s appointments.  This event is needed in the community and in my opinion, one of the more successful events.  The Defillo family has been instrumental in the organization and preparation for the Sickle Cell Red Run, without them this event would never exist, and we are grateful for their continued support.
