Lanre Tunji-Ajayi, a global patient advocate for sickle cell disease and co-founder of both the Sickle Cell Awareness Group of Ontario (SCAGO) and the Sickle Cell Disease Association of Canada, joins Miranda Anthistle to discuss the importance of awareness and education surrounding this health issue.
