Channeling sorrow into strength

If your sickle cell warrior has passed away, Voices of Winged Warriors (VoWW) is here for you. This collective of caregivers, loved ones, and allies left behind still wants to educate, advocate, and drive action for better sickle cell outcomes.

​

While great strides are being made in sickle cell research, it hasn’t come in time for too many warriors. World-wide, every day, more than 1,000 individuals lose their lives to sickle cell. We know how that feels and we want to do more. â€‹â€‹Together at VoWW, we can honor our warriors and help create change for a better future.

Proper Emergency Department Care

One of VoWW's primary strategic goals is to move beyond awareness. Through Sickle Cell STAT, we work to help ensure that knowledgeable, equitable emergency room treatment becomes the standard for every individual with sickle cell.
