Walk for sickle cell disease
Saturday, October 8, 2022
Join us to shine the light on sickle cell disease
Community participation is at the heart of every event sponsored by the Massachusetts Sickle Cell Association. This year's walk for sickle cell disease will be a hybrid 5k event. Join us in the park or walk wherever you want. This is also a fun way to get your family out of the house while you exercise and raise funds for a good cause.
So spread the word, invite your friends to be on your team, and lace up your sneakers while making a difference in our community. We are so excited for you to join us!
