Beneficial information

I’ve listened to the Feb. 2020 episode and I’m truly grateful for the information shared. There’s so many new research and studies being done, I appreciate this podcast for sharing so much worthwhile, life improving information for both Sickle cell disease and Sickle cell trait. Continue to provide this information to the public!!

Great listen!

Thank you for this amazingness!

I thoroughly enjoyed the cheesiness but very informative topics on this podcast. I recently started a YouTube about dating some one with sickle cell to bring awareness but also to learn more about this disease. I can’t wait for the next episode!
