Norma Allison Campbell- SOLPO’s first Vice-President
Moni Williams- SOLPO’s first Secretary
As the very first secretary of SOLPO, now SCAGO, I joined during its inception in 2005 and served in this capacity until 2009. I was involved in the different activities that laid the foundation for the organization: writing the by-laws, defining organizational goals, and planning events. Having been touched personally by sickle cell disease, I am driven by the thought that pending the time a cure would be found, all that can be done to create awareness of the disease and the means of preventing it. Nothing is too little to contribute; all hands must be on deck to spread the word. Starting with one’s immediate environment, everyone needs to educate their spouse, children, friends, and neighbors who are susceptible to sickle cell disease. Prevention, they say, is better than cure!
