For Jim Rawlings, board chair of The Sickle Cell Disease Association of America of Southern Connecticut, getting involved in the fight against sickle cell anemia wasn’t an issue of if, so much as one as when and how. Today’s broadcasts on WNHH radio explore that, and more.

Specifically, Rawlings talk about the importance that the gala plays in educating the community about the disease.
