Jada is my friend who has sickle cell anemia.

This means that there is something wrong with her blood cells. They cannot carry oxygen as good as other people can.

Did you know? People who have sickle cell anemia have cells that are "C" shaped.

Jada gets tired very easy. Especially when we are in ballet class. So she has to slow down more but she tries to stay positive.

Did you know? People with SCD need to avoid strenuous activities to avoid complications.

Did you know? That there is no cure for sickle cell anemia.

Jada has to take a certain medication everyday to treat her sickle cell anemia.
