Hi all... if you know me, then you will know how my professional life has been influenced and the passion I carry for improving care and treatment for those with Sickle Cell Disease.

I am blessed🙏 to be able to pursue many things, each day, without having to give consideration to the impact of an underlying genetic disease. Many of us share this fortune, regardless of how often we are cognizant or thankful for what we do not have, in addition to that which we do.

I have been given the opportunity to Join team #SickleForward both to raise awareness, and funding for research and care, for the warriors who live with sickle cell each day 💪, and those who care about and for them - by doing something I'm not so particularly fond of 🗻... and that's exactly why I'm doing it!

Becoming intentionally uncomfortable in order to raise funding to make the lives of others intentionally better 💝.

So please join my journey team 👏 by DONATING $$$ 💰.... because like a Police/Marvin Gaye mashup --

Every Step I Take and Ain't No Mountain High Enough - to keep me from Climbing these Summits for Sickle Cell! 🥾

Plus, I'll send you some great pictures 📸 from the summit 🌄!
