Pictured are organizers and supporters of an April 9 run, walkathon and health fair benefiting the Mississippi Sickle Cell Foundation. The event, held largely on the grounds of the Emmett Till Multi-Purpose Complex on Highway 49 East near Sumner, drew dozens of participants on a chilly but sunny Saturday to raise funds and to increase awareness of sickle cell disease, also called sickle cell anemia.
