More than 100,000 people across the U.S. live with sickle cell disease, which distorts red blood cells and makes it difficult for them to flow through the bloodstream and carry oxygen to the body. Blood transfusions increase the number of healthy red blood cells and can reduce life-threatening complications like severe pain, tissue and organ damage, anemia, and even strokes. #TeamUp4SickleCell #DonateBlood #GiveBlood #SickleCell #SickleCellAwareness
