Did you know that dehydration can increase the risk of a sickle cell pain crisis? Drinking enough water helps support healthy blood flow and is an important part of managing sickle cell disease.

Aim to drink water regularly throughout the day! While 8–10 glasses is a common guideline, hydration needs can vary from person to person.

A simple habit like staying hydrated can make a difference in supporting your overall health.

❤️ Today is World Heart Day!

For Sickle Cell Warriors, taking care of the heart is an important part of taking care of the whole body. Sickle cell disease can affect blood flow and oxygen delivery throughout the body, which can place added stress on the heart over time.

This , we’re raising awareness of the connection between sickle cell disease and heart health and encouraging our Warriors to stay informed, keep up with their care and show their hearts a little extra love.
