Live Lavish Access

Sickle Cell has affected my life in MANY ways but the things that stick out the most are that I have to constantly plan around my illness. I can't just hop up and do things, I always have to consider the best interest of my health, and that is directly because of Sickle Cell. Where did the idea for #BoldL
