Post" for their efforts in promoting community awareness of the devastating
effects of Sickle Cell disease. The WEPSCF will use proceeds from the
fundraiser to support sickle cell programs in the Mid-Atlantic region.
"The recent death of University of Central Florida football player
Ereck Plancher, who collapsed during a practice session, underscores once
again the need for more awareness and education about sickle cell disease
and trait. September is National Sickle Cell Awareness Month, and we will
continue to draw attention to the impact this disease has on the lives of
sickle cell patients and their families," says Dr. Karen L. Proudford,
