I attended this event and it was amazing. Funny thing about sickle cell is that it has a mind of it's own. I been hydrating and doing everything possible to prepare for this race. Two weeks before we were scheduled to attend this event, I was diagnosed with pneumonia after a pain crisis. Come the day of 09/21/24, I was in a full blown sickle cell crisis with both lungs partially collapsed and filled with fluid. I had taken all prescribed medications for pain and pneumonia and I was determined to finally achieve a long dream I've always had in my heart. I came, I tried to conquer, and unfortunately sickle cell won and I could not finish. I fought the entire but shortly becoming short winded and filling faint, my family and I decided it best I return home and rest. I'm barely starting to feel better and today is 10/12/24. I'm grateful to still be here and I thank God for this opportunity. Thank you to this organization that put this amazing event together. #sicklecell does not have me, I have SICKLE CELL and I am a warrior; 36 years strong! Hang in there everyone, we'll be okay.
