Today is the last day of Sickle Cell Awareness Month, and I would like to thank everyone who has supported, participated, and donated to our cause.

To better focus our efforts we will be stepping back from organizing other events, and will be dedicating our attention to the Walk for Sickle Cell. We want it to grow and build a stronger community.

I appreciate all of you for being part of this journey! We will keep posting and sharing, so keep checking our posts!!

We welcome October with gratitude!!

The Walk for Sickle Cell 2026 is in the books!📚

I would like to thank my team for volunteering their time as well as their other efforts that made this possible. ✨

I extend a special thanks to all the participants that braved a very chilly morning to come out and walk with us! 🥶 We were frozen but Ash 🙏👊❤️ warmed us up, and we were able to do our 3K!

Honestly I was so cold I couldn’t take more pictures 😅.

It was such a good time! Thank you everyone!!

See you on the track in 2027!

Wonder what our young warriors do when they go for a check up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada? Today’s your lucky day! It was our Princess Warrior’s first checkup of the year.

We got started with bloodwork, then her breathing test. These appointments take a few hours so we stopped for lunch, and we were totally surprised to see Jamaican Patties in the hospital cafeteria!! She gave it 4 stars 😅.

Then she had a TCD scan and saw the team…nurses, pharmacists, Respiratory Specialist, and finally the Hematologist, who went over all the results.

Our Princess is doing great!!

How are checkups done in your neck of the woods?

Our first Sickle Cell Impact Night was a success!

We had good conversations, great food, and wonderful company! We may have been a small group, but like they say in Jamaica, every mikkle makes a mukkle. This is just the start of something that will get bigger each year.

Syd worked with us to create an amazing painting. We tried to incorporate symbols that are meaningful to our work and community. We love the end result!

Thank you to all who attended!

And a big thank you to for allowing us to use their wonderful space!

Tell us in the comments what we should do next year…
