There are hundreds of families in Central Indiana living with the burden of Sickle Cell Disease. Many of those families need additional support which Martin Center Sickle Cell Initiative (MCSCI) strives to provide. Your participation in the 19th Annual Sickle Cell 5K Walk/Run will enable MCSCI to fill those gaps with quality supportive services.

The Annual Sickle Cell 5k Walk/Run is widely seen as our premier event. Proceeds benefit our programs which aim to aid and enhance the lives of those affected by Sickle Cell. This includes Sickle Cell education, family support, food pantry, monthly support groups, and advocacy.
