Worthy Cause Wednesday
Did you know…St. Jude has been researching sickle cell disease since the hospital opened in 1962. Also,
-
The first research grant ever received by the hospital was for the study of sickle cell disease.
-
In 1983, a St. Jude patient was the first in the world to be cured of sickle cell anemia through a stem cell/bone marrow transplant.
What is Sickle cell disease?
Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder. People with sickle cell disease have red blood cells containing mostly hemoglobin S, an abnormal type of hemoglobin. These red blood cells become sickle-shaped (crescent-shaped).
If one family member has sickle cell disease, other members may also carry the trait, or pass it on to their children.
So when we say that your referrals help the kids, can you see how donations to worthy causes like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital can make a difference?
Who do you know looking to buy or sell a home that you could refer to me and my real estate sales team? Not only will they benefit from my award winning service, but a portion the income I earn will go towards a very worthy cause!
Pass along my number 219-293-8494 and they’ll thank you for it!
