We're always scouring the web for innovative ways others choose to raise awareness for sickle cell, especially with the start of Sickle Cell Awareness Month a little more than a week away. Some things we've seen:
1. Booster campaigns selling T-shirts to raise money for sickle cell awareness.
2. Celebrity bowling challenges -- the K.I.S. Foundation is hosting it's 12 annual event next month.
3. Numerous sickle cell walks/runs like this one, hosted by the Greater Boston Sickle Cell Disease Association.
And recently, we ran across this article from the Fox affiliate in Birmingham, Alabama. More than 100 bikers gathered this weekend (August 22, 2015) to embark on a 40-mile ride to raise money for sickle cell warriors. The ultimate goal of these sickle cell supporters? A little something different: to create a sickle cell specialty license plate that will serve to also raise awareness and research funding for SCD.
