Oct. 24, 2007 -- Each year, approximately
1,000 babies are born with sickle cell disease, an inherited blood disorder
characterized by intense fatigue and periodic pain episodes. This disease
affects predominantly African-Americans, with about 1 in 12 African-Americans carrying the sickle cell trait. Presently, no cure exists.
To raise funds to aid in finding a cure and to better the lives of those stricken by sickle cell disease, United for Jamaica (UFJ), a non-profit organization working to improve the quality of life of the African Diaspora, will be hosting its annual Ball or Bust Soccer Tournament Fundraiser at 1pm - 6pm on Saturday, October 27, 2007 at REDAN PARK ON THE PHILLIPS ROAD SIDE.
