Hi peeps....

I wondering if you could help me?

Basically, tomorrow the 15th of May will be the first aniversary of my brothers death. He died from sickle cell related illness and went through a lot of pain in his life because of it...but it didn't stop him living his 32 years to the full!!!!

I was wondering if you could tell me 'what sickle cell means to you?' I know the facts but, i want to know what it means to you from a personal point of view. It angers me that soooo many black people do not know much about a disease that affect their own community but i'm hoping someone out there can prove me wrong.

Any replies will be very much appreciated as my family will be holding a party to celebrate his life in conjunction with the Sickle Cell Society next month where many artists are offering to support the cause. The replies i get will be displayed visually somehow around the walls...
