Sickle Cell Anemia: One Woman’s Journey

What are the current treatment options for sickle cell?
Since she was a young girl, Jennifer Abrahams has suffered with sickle cell anemia.

Sickle cell is a condition that changes normal, round red blood cells into cells that are shaped like half moons.

Sickle cells move through your blood stream and have a higher risk getting stuck on blood vessels, which can stop oxygen from getting through.

With her disease has come hundreds of hospital visits and many diverse pains... but, that hasn't (and won't) stopped her from doing things that she is passionate about.

Listen in as Jennifer Abrahams shares her personal story with sickle cell anemia and the advice she has if you're going through the same thing.
