Female: I'm Emma and this is MY Sickle Cell Story. My daughter-in-law has the Sickle Cell trait. I never knew my son had the trait until my grandaughter was born. She has sickle cell disease. It hurts to see my grandbaby go through so much pain. My advice to ALL future moms AND dads. Get screened for the sickle cell trait BEFORE you get pregnant. I wish my son had.

Voiceover (different voice): Sickle Cell is a painful blood disease that can affect anyone. Find out it you carry the trait. You can get a free test at your nearby health department or your sickle cell community program. It's fast and simple.
