Hereditary in nature, Sickle Cell is a blood disorder which leads to red blood cells getting stuck in the blood vessels. As a result, much-needed blood and oxygen gets blocked from vital organs (including the lungs, heart, kidney, liver and much more).

The Sickle Cell Disease Association of Canada estimates that up to 1 in every 2,500 babies will be born with the disease in this country. The association further reports that 3,500 to 4,500 people in Canada have been diagnosed with the disease.

All funds raised by Local 1006A goes to Faces of Our Children, an organization that raises awareness, support and funding for this important fight.
