SOS Walk Pledge Form

Our purpose is to make our voices heard.  This year 2010 is a historic year as we acknowledge the 100th anniversary of the Documentation of Sickle Cell Disease in Western Literature.  Join us in a 5K Walk/Run as we walk from Freedom Plaza, Washington, DC on Saturday, September 18, 2010 to bring awareness to the disease for which there is still no universally available cure.  Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that causes severe pain crisis, organ damage and death.  It affects millions of people around the world.  In the United States it most commonly occurs in people with African ancestry.   This collaborative walk is like no other consisting of your community organizations, local medical institutions that are dedicated to support and advocate for persons and families coping with the challenges of sickle cell disease.  It is our mission to raise awareness through education, outreach and provide patient support.
