Today’s Faces of Sickle Cell Disease: Tanielle Randall

It was not until their daughter was born five years ago with SCD that Tanielle Randall and her husband found out he was a carrier of the disease. Two years later, she would discover that her second child had the disease. But Randall quickly decided she had to “emotionally move past the fact that my children have this illness and start being proactive and the best parent I could be.” So she dug in, learning everything she could, and eventually joined the board of the Kids Conquering Sickle Cell Disease Foundation. Now, in addition to holding down a full-time job while caring for her daughters, Randall offers resources and advice to other families who are on a similar journey. Related story
