Sickle Cell 5K Walk/Run - 22nd Annual - Jade Parker’s Sickle Cell Squad

A 16 month-old baby sits in the middle of the floor, afraid to take the wobbly steps she's perfected over the last 3 months. Using the only voice she has, she screams uncontrollably at the top of her lungs as an unknown pain pulsates throughout her body.  This is the pain that not even a mother's embrace can make better; for her baby girl is experiencing her very first sickle cell crisis.

Almost 26 years later, I, Jade, (the same baby girl enduring her first crisis) am now a college graduate, Registered Nurse, and entrepreneur with my own startup business, [url=http://www.facebook.com/rojorganics]ROJOrganics[/url].
But it doesn't stop there. Many like me--myself included--still need assistance in continuing to fight sickle cell everyday to lead a life of excellence and to overcome.

With your help:
