As a person living with Sickle Cell Disease I sincerely wish to attend the 3rd Sickle Cell Scientific conference in person to participate as a speaker.
I honestly have a lot to share having lived with the disease for 44 years. There are a lot l could share and also learn.
But l am constrained with distance as l live in Africa, Nigeria precisely. And in my country, for every 10 births registered 3 are born with this genetic disorder. I belong to a sickle cell awareness and advocacy group in Nigeria where l do my very best to senitize and teach about the demerits of birthing children with sickle cell disease. I have as well granted a press interview on the National Television Authority (NTA) in the year 2019 about my journey with sickle cell disease as well as creating awareness about the disease.
I have also written about my Sickle Cell Life Experience, a collection of stories from other Sickle cell warriors which is to be launched in Melbourne, Australia very soon
Thank your.
Please ensure to attend via virtual options later this year. We wish you all the best.
