What is your perception about the world most simple things that presents itself sometimes as difficult? Perhaps, you think you know somethings but all you really know are the myths of these things. Some people for instance, think that when you see a man convulsing, don’t help just walk away or else you will get infected and be like him… That is just a Myth.
In Africa, there are so many myths that we have ingested into our beliefs system which is making us stagnant and far from breaking through the bounds.
The Sickle Cell disease is one of the critical cases we have in Africa which has no ‘breakthrough‘ in sight because of the myths entangled around it; which is Keeping us back from making a breakthrough in saving the lives involved in this.
Some people will say, No matter what you do to help a ‘Sickler’ the end result is death because they weren’t made to Live long, but do you know that there are thousands of Elderly Sicklers?
There is a dire need to get the right information and that is why The Life To Sickle Initiative was created by Switly’s Signature.
This initiative is set to raise awareness about the Sickle Cell Disease and to help raise Funds for less privileged Sickle Cell Warriors.
The maiden edition of this event was held on October 3rd, at Surulere,Lagos and it was an exciting showcase of wisdom, knowledge and Help.
Enjoy The Video.

Waoh…… A job welldone. I watched the video and I must say that God bless you all, God bless switly’s initiative for this life to sickle cell awareness. Sickle cells disease kills if not managed properly and I believe that with this you’ve started lives will be saved.
Sickle cell disease is a very challenging condition but can be managed properly. Lots of sickle cell patients don’t even have the resources to manage the condition and those with money even exhaust it in the process. But when their is an initiative where assistance is given to help people with this condition, I believe that they can live longer than expected. Switly’s signature, God bless you and all your team mate for this lovely initiative. May God provide the funds and helper to support this beautiful initiative. Let’s support switly’s signature and help save lives of people that might someday become leaders of tomorrow. God bless switly’s signature, God bless abovewhispers.com
Waoooooh very impressive, God bless switly signature for saving the lives of people out there. The video is just the best I love it!
There are still lots of people living with the stigma of being addressed as a sickler. That shouldn’t be because they didn’t make themselves one. God bless switly’s signature for their support over the lives of those suffering from sickle cell.
Really glad that the program was a success. A very good awareness program. Thumbs up to switly’s signatures.
I see the reason to belief that there is hope for those who are carrier of this disease and also a strong belief never to give up on them. Job well done to switly’s signatures. You are really a warrior.
I was brought up to believe that sicklers are meet to die young, even thou escape the age expected they can’t still life long. The organizer of this program (Switly’s signatures) has open our eyes to see and believe that there is hope for the sicklers.
Now that we know this disease exist and we know how to fight against it, then let ‘s avoid the cause of this disease. It can be stop, let us stop sickle cell anemia in our generation. Long live to those affected. Hope for the future.
Nice initiative…. But as well as we known the causes of this disease and we know it can also be prevented. Please, lets try not to fall victim. Check ur genotype before marriage, at least 3times before u finally wall down alter with ur bride or groom so as to prevent innocent ones from being victims of the sickle cell disease. A final year pharmacy student of unilag just died, 3 weeks to her final exams to become a pharmacist. She’s a warrior, she fought hard, there was money to manage it, but she stil died with all her wonderful potentials. It was a painful exit.
God bless switly’s signature for lives to would be reach with this initiative but let’s also try to reduce the birth of stickle cell children by doing the needful. Thanks
Now that we know this disease exist and we know how to go about it. people have this feelings about sickle cell and they must time don’t show them love as expected. which is wrong. they should he treated like human and should also be showed maximum love and care by so doing they are likely to stay longer on earth.
