Our Mission

Red Stick Sickle Cell Group, founded in memory of my sister Raven, is dedicated to empowering individuals and families affected by sickle cell disease. Through partnerships with organizations like Sick Cells, Sickle Cell Consortium, Rare Patient Voice, and Honeycomb Health, we advocate for awareness and support warriors in living full, limitless lives.

We engage with all ages to foster community, share stories, and raise awareness locally and globally. Join us in making a lasting impact on the sickle cell community.

To My Fellow Sickle Cell Warriors,

Today, I want to remind you of how incredibly powerful and beautiful you are. Living with sickle cell disease may come with unique challenges, but it's important to never let these obstacles overshadow your worth and potential. Embrace self-love and create a safe space for yourself and others, where we can share our experiences, lift each other up, and inspire one another to live our best lives.
