#nhs-blood-and-transplant

The cold weather can make me very poorly when I play with my friends. My teacher helps me dress up really warm at playtime so I don't have a sickle cell crisis. These words are inspired by the real-life story of Angel Salami, a teenager from south London who has sickle cell disease. She was diagnosed at birth, while her father Kehinde only learned he had the condition when he experienced a sickle cell crisis at university in his 20.
