Episode 4
Members of the Ramsay family describe what life with sickle cell is like, as a means of raising awareness for the disease, as well as shining a spotlight on research progress to date. Sickle cell affects millions the world over, predominantly those of African descent, though it does afflict the Hispanic community as well. The history of sickle cell disease is fraught with tears, fatigue, and even racial oppression -- but hope is on the horizon.
