👋🏾 This is Theo – he spent this Thursday of National Blood Week having a blood exchange.

For Theo, this isn't a one-off.

It's part of his regular treatment for sickle cell.

The 14 year old was diagnosed with the genetic condition at birth. He needs blood exchanges at Birmingham Children’s Hospital to ease his painful symptoms.

In 2017, Theo had a sickle cell crisis that put him in intensive care and needing every drop of his blood replaced with healthy donor blood.

Mum Sylviann says the hardest part isn't all the hospital visits — it's watching Theo experience extreme pain and having to explain why the everyday things other children do freely aren't always possible for him.

"Nothing prepares you for watching your child go through extreme pain," she says.

“Recovering from painful episodes can last from just a few hours to weeks.”

But blood donation changes the story.

When Theo has an exchange, Sylviann says the improvement can be almost immediate. It gives him more energy to do the things he loves like playing the violin, recorder and guitar, and playing football and rugby. 🎻🏉

For sickle cell patients, well-matched blood is vital. The Ro subtype is more commonly found in people of Black African and Black Caribbean descent, and many sickle cell patients need this specific type.

More Black donors mean better, more effective matches - for Theo and the thousands of others living with the condition.

🩸 If you're of Black heritage and haven't donated before, your blood could be the match someone is waiting for.

Something special is coming to Crescent Commons (our new flagship property). 👀

On June 19, we’ll gather to celebrate Juneteenth and World Sickle Cell Day through community, culture, wellness, connection, and joy.

📢 ATTENTION ALL SICKLE CELL MOMS & CAREGIVERS ❤️

Being a parent of a sickle cell warrior is not easy.

The sleepless nights.
The hospital visits.
The emotional stress.
The constant worry.

While we often focus on the warriors, we sometimes forget the incredible mothers and caregivers who fight alongside them every day.

That's why I'm sharing this special opportunity from the No One Behind (NOB) Foundation.
