HEARTWARMING!!!! Adekunle Gold Set To Support Charity Foundations For Children With Sickle Cell (VIDEO)
Adekunle Gold, after spending time with children affected by sickle cell, plans to donate to charity organizations supporting them.
At a recent London show, the singer disclosed his own sickle cell status and shared the challenges he faced growing up, frequently hospitalized due to the disease.
Despite his efforts to inspire others living with sickle cell during his performances, he recognizes the need for more support and intends to collaborate with charities to assist children affected by the condition.
In his words;
“It took me years to finally be able to share publicly that I was born with Sickle Cell.”
“Over the last 2 years I have spoken about this disease during my performances but I realise that more needs to be done.”
“Every year over 100,000 children are born with Sickle Cell in Nigeria alone. Sickle Cell has no cure, it is highly under researched because it largely affects West Africans.”
“This weekend was very emotional for me, met children living with the disease, spoke with parents who are finding it hard to cope amidst the economic crisis in the country.”
“Thank you to @samiupdate and @sicklecellfoundationng for the work you are doing.”
“I am inspired by the touching stories and encounters I had last weekend and I want to ensure that all the independent organisations doing the vital work, outreach and research needed to fight Sickle Cell receive the resources and support that they desperately need.”
“To my Champions, if I can do it, you can do it too.”
