PATIENT AMBASSADORS
Our inspiring patients are the reason this event was created and why we continue to strive to create breakthroughs for every child in our care.

WHY WE WALK
Two gene therapies for sickle cell disease now exist — an INCREDIBLE breakthrough for patients! But CHOP’s work is far from done. Help CHOP make the next discovery to find even better therapies — and to transform lives.

How the Cure Sickle Cell Walk & Family Fun Day Drives Discoveries
“Philanthropic support enables CHOP physicians and scientists to reimagine a complex medical landscape as we work to treat and even cure blood disorders, including sickle cell disease. We will continue to investigate and innovate in this critical area of pediatric health on behalf of the many who depend on the advances we make. Your generosity drives our momentum and makes this work possible.”
