Keith, Jr., affectionately known as ‘KJ’, was diagnosed with sickle cell disease at birth. At 4-years old, KJ began having monthly blood transfusions to minimize his risk of strokes and unimaginable pain. Fast- forward to December 5, 2013, KJ tapped into his inner superhero powers and began destroying his sickle cell disease through a bone marrow transplant. Sickle cell disease has been around for 100 years and our goal is to fight until it's destroyed! In the words of KJ, "sickle cell sucks!"
