Caleb Duplan was born with Sickle Cell Disease and experienced many painful crises. He had multiple visits to the emergency room because of pains and fevers. In spite of his limitations, he never allowed the disease to stop him from doing what he loved. He would do wrestling and exercise to stay healthy and fit. He created music and before his passing made incredible life changes and became involved in church. His family remembers him as strong-willed, ambitious, optimistic, and had a drive for success. He graduated from information technology and had goals to further his career in business and computer technology. People who have known him would say he was bright and that he would light up the room with his smile and was loved by many including families and friends. This foundation was created to honor him and celebrate all of his accomplishments and most importantly to help adults, families and children suffering with the disease.

Program Initiatives
WHAT IS SICKLE CELL DISEASE
SCD is a group of inherited red blood cell disorders. Healthy red blood cells are round, and they move through small blood vessels to carry oxygen to all parts of the body. In someone who has SCD, the red blood cells become hard and sticky and look like a C-shaped form tool called a “sickle.” The sickle cells die early, which causes a constant shortage of red blood cells. Also, when they travel through small blood vessels, they get stuck and clog the blood flow. This can cause pain and other serious problems such infection, acute chest syndrome and stroke.
