Football Player with Sickle Cell Anemia

Tiki Barber, former NFL running back played football from 1997-2006. He is an All-Star athlete and looks to be headed to the Hall of Fame. What many people don't know about Mr. Barber is that he has Sickle Cell Anemia. To respond to this, Tiki created a charity called "Be Sickle Smart", to raise money for the cause. He wants to make sure that all kids stay in school, and are not busy in the hospital getting treatment everyday. Him and his brother Ronde run the charity together. This charity has really helped to gain money to find a cheap cure for SCD and the Barber family is striving to reach this monumental goal.
