Sickle cell warrior Lena Harvey knows firsthand how isolating, painful and debilitating sickle cell disease can be. That’s why she’s passionate about advocating for others. “Anywhere there is a sickle cell initiative, anywhere there is someone who needs to learn something about sickle cell or the impact they could have by simply giving blood, that’s where I come in,” she says. “We all deserve a chance at life.”
