🌟 In loving memory of Dr. Rashid, a remarkable hematologist/oncologist and Nevada's champion for sickle cell healthcare. Her tireless dedication improved lives and inspired us all. Rest in peace, dear doctor. Your legacy lives on. 🙏❤️ #RememberingDrRashid #SickleCellAdvocate

This is David Dandridge Jr.‘s story. ▶️ When he was 18, sickle cell disease disrupted his dreams of joining the military & law enforcement. Thanks to a lifesaving blood transfusion, he persevered — he completed college, married his high school sweetheart and became a father. ❤️
