12 years ago I lost a childhood friend to Sickle cell disease. He was only 14; an innocent joyful child whose laughter brightened up the room. We always played and had sleepovers during the holidays. During his crisis, he’d be in pains, discomfort and tears, groaning and praying for it all to cease. There was series of hospital admissions, blood transfusions, medication prescriptions, rehydration and physical therapies.

On the 17th of July 2012 he kicked the bucket, I cried for weeks and didn’t talk to anybody. After his death I made the promise to myself that children wouldn’t have to suffer or die from sickle cell disease like he did which made me decide to pick medical school and I never looked back. ツ
