I left a post concerning this under Vehicle of the Soul/Body but I thought I would start a new topic for this. We have been trying to get Oprah to do a show on Sickle Cell Anemia it is a blood disease that is very painful and life threatening. Unfortunately my daughter has this disease. We have tried to get Oprah to do a show to bring this to the public's attention we have not been successful so now we are contacting her producer. March 28th many Sickle Cell Organizations , SC patients, family, and friends , emailed the producer please will you join our efforts? It would mean so much to me her email address is SPeddicord@harpo.com her name is Sandy Peddicord she is the Sr Associate producer. If you need more info please feel free to email me at jjade731@aol.com if everyone sends an email we would have to be successful with this endevor. If you know someone with this disease then you can tell of a personal experience if not then simply ask her to do a show on Sickle Cell Anemia Thank you so much , Thank you JadeIP: Logged |

I would be happy to help.Sending an email is the least I can do.  When I write, I'm going to mention that the disease often affects children-- not only is this true, but I think Oprah has a verrry big heart when it comes to kids. Good for you! Even a few more emails and letters might wake them up... because many would benefit from learning about this tough disease.  cheers,

Lunagirl,Aquamoon, Thank you so much for your support yes it does affect children because it is a hereditary disease so my daughter was born with this disease . There is no cure and there are many carriers out there who are not aware they have this gene, My daughter has had many hospitalizations throughout her life, but has a very strong determination to survive. There are many people who have lost their life to this disease thank you so much for your support. Love JadeIP: Logged |

Any news yet?I received an "out-of-office-reply" from Sandi Peddicord's email that she was away on vacation. Now we'll just have to bend our minds thattaway too, to be the first thing she deals with when she comes back. In the nicest possible way, of course! LOL! Lunargirl IP: Logged |

We did receive a reply from the associate producer she says she received 110 emails on the subject ( I honestly dont beleive that because we had so many groups here in NY , Atlanta Ga, and in other areas write in ) and if she was interested in doing a show on that topic she would let us know. I know it is not a popular topic and ratings are the most important thing these days but we havent given up Thank you to all who emailed the producer Love JadeIP: Logged |
