Our friend Tracie Thoms texted us last week "You guys want to go bowling? I have a lane for this Sickle Cell Fundraiser and Kids can come! .......We're there! Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder that mostly affects people of African ancestry, but also occurs in other ethnic groups, including people who are of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern descent.
- More than 70,000 Americans have sickle cell anemia. And about 2 million Americans — 1 in 12 African Americans — have sickle cell trait, which means they carry a single gene for the disease and can pass this gene along to their children, but do not have the disease itself.
This is evening was supported by Black Hollywood Actors & Actresses who came out to support the cause and fun was had by all! Even Master Marley had a great time. He was a little intimmadated by the sounds of the pins getting knocked down, but he quickly became
amused by all the action, music and people that came by our lane to say hello. I think hands down Jennifer Lewis was the most memorable visitor. If you know this funny actress you can just hear her voice. "Oh Myyy GODD! He is just GORGEEOUSS! LOOK at BABEEE! AND He is HEAVY! LORD.......SOMEBODDDY Take this Baby from ME. (mind you she is not letting go of Marley, nor is she handing him off! LOL)
Thank you Tracie,Sargon,Thalia for making our nite, helping our family bowl and for the memorable FRAME where everybody made a strike!!! YAY!!!I think Marley thinks its normal to hop from person to person now! :)
