Malik Shares How He Got Cured from Sickle Cell Disease

Malik was born with Sickle Cell Disease, but thanks to a bone marrow transplant from his younger brother Michael, Malik is now cured. Sickle Cell Disease is a genetic condition in which red blood cells take the shape of a sickle and are rigid and unbending (unlike regular red blood cells). These cells die ten times faster than regular blood cells, which leads to anemia. When too many cells are sickle shaped (and rigid) due to a sickle crisis, pain occurs because the rigid cells clog the flow of blood in small vessels. Find out what Malik and his mother Belinda have learned from their journey, and how they want to help others going through something similar.
