Watch 25-Year-Old Chris talk about his Battle with Sickle Cell Disease on BBC Stories
Sickle cell disease is a serious and lifelong health condition that predominantly affects people from African or Caribbean backgrounds. Symptoms include bouts of pain, strokes, organ failure, and complications that can result in reduced life expectancy.
Some consider it a ‘silent illness’ as those who have the condition rarely speak about it, or the pain that they live with.
BBC stories speak to 25 year-old Chris, who lives with the disease and started his own initiative that aims to create conversation about the condition.
