September is sickle cell month in the UK to raise awareness, but awareness must be given daily at any opportunity. As you might know and will learn from this episode, sickle cell is an inherited health condition that affects red blood cells, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. Some people with the illness may need blood donation to survive, which is why it is essential for people, especially those from (the black and Caribbean community) who can, to donate to support the sickle cell society.
