A 28-year-old sickle cell anaemia survivor Musonda Mwilwa has fulfilled her dream of becoming a medical doctor. Mwilwa said she had always wished to be medical doctor even after she was diagnosed with sickle cell anaemia.

Sad that the voices of those who suffer has been silenced. Sickle Cell is an illness that has been around for years but so many still don't what this illness is. Funding for Sickle Cell is needed and those the survivors of Sickle Cell need to stand up and speak out. 2019 will be a year of change.

In 2019 let's be intentional about Sickle Cell. Sickle Cell is a silent illness but we need to speak up. A challenge is soon to come. Lets go viral.

03/10/2019

In 2019 we need for Sickle Cell to hit a national platform. The awareness of this illness is silent because so many of us are. We need start talking and make it go viral. Let's be the voice that is no longer a whisper.
