Andrea’s Angel Walk
Andrea’s Angel Walk is an annual 5k walk/run named in honor of Andrea Ndukwu. It’s dedicated to raising awareness of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). Despite being the #1 inherited blood disorder sickle cell patients face many barriers to care. The Sickle Circle of Manitoba is thrilled to announce that we will be holding our 7th annual Andrea’s Angel Walk at Kildonan Park on September 7th 2024. The walk will start at 9:30am.

Andrea Ndukwu
Andrea was a fierce sickle warrior who lost her battle to the disease at the tender age of seven. Her spirit and infectious smile precedes her and inspires this event.
The namesake walk is used to honor such a beautiful soul. Although her physical presence is seriously missed, this guardian angel has always been a constant source of love and light to the Ndukwu family.
Andrea’s Angel Walk is held annually in September which is Sickle Cell Awareness Month. All funds raised during this event will directly support our Patient Outreach Program, heaping us reach more individuals in need of care and support.
