    My mother, a Guyanese, moved to Canada in 1968, When I was a very young child in the 70s my mother, a registered nurse (and daughter and sister of registered nurses), she demanded that I be tested for sickle cell anemia. Apparently it was something that was not done in Toronto and it may be that I was the first to be tested for it. Luckily I did not have it.
    Thank you Dame Elizabeth for all your hard work. It is my hope that your efforts are spread throughout the African Diaspora.

      That's actually sad because where are the black kangs and their help when it comes to civil rights, empowerment and black excellence or are black women expected to carry everyone on their shoulders (as usual) within their community.

    I have sickle cell disease and even though it was more well known in the US, care has only recently begun to become more humane and patient centered. I’m so grateful for people like her who are making the lives of others better ❤

      My daughter has full blown Sickle Cell Anaemia also and suffered so much especially when she was a baby and toddler. The blood disorder was recognised as a chronic, debilitating illness and individuals with it able to claim disability living allowance. However, because the illness is seen as a "black" disease (majority of people affected are black or from Mediterranean decent) and the blatant racism that exist in England, individuals with this blood disorder no longer qualify for this benefit. It is so disgusting in this country. Yet chronic illnesses such as Cystic Fibrosis or any others where the majority affected are not black people, they remain entitled to this benefit. If this isn't another example of blatant racism and inequality, then I don't know what is.

      I watched that movie as a child , along with uptown Saturday night and a pice of the action. I have never forgotten it!. I am now a medical doctor and still remain "her crises and pain" from the movie . It was beautifully done and documented the struggle of so many.

    I lost my close friend Kwame to sickle cell when he was just 17 years old. It was the 80s and back then there was such a stigma about it here in Ghana that none of us knew he was suffering. He was a shining ray of light, full of goodness, always happy and hopeful. It broke my heart. It broke all of our hearts. I pray that a cure will be found so that no one ever has to suffer from this disease. Thank you Dame Elizabeth for all you do.

We'd known each other since we were in our late teens, early twenties. I was by her bedside when she took her last breath. Her parents were told she would not live to be 10. She lived to be 57!*
