CMC Events Planner is proud to announce their first event for 2017: SICKLE CELL FUNDRAISER This fundraiser is all about raising awareness of the sickle cell disease which is common in people with an African or Caribbean family background. Now I don’t suffer from sickle cell, but I have family and friends who have either the sickle cell trait or sickle cell. And I know a few family members have lost friends to the disease. When it comes to donating to charities, I have never seen anything to donate to sickle cell. There are a few charities out there, but for some reason they don’t get the publicity they need and I want to be able to help change that. All proceeds will go to SickleKan, a charity which will use their donations to raise awareness of sickle cell in many different ways through marketing materials, delivering interactive school sessions, setting up a website and a app and hopefully setting up a centre for sickle cell sufferers to receive help and support.
