  Tayla Washington is a senior attending Riverwood International Charter School. She is bone marrow donor for her sister Aaron Washington who is now cured of Sickle Cell disease.

  She is qualified for the position as a teen advisory Vice president because of her motivation and commitment. I am willing to work side by side with the President of the FACE Youth Advisory Board.

  Secretary, FACE Foundation Youth Advisory Board
  Student

  Maya Washington is a sophomore at Riverwood Highschool. Maya participates actively in the arts programs throughout the school and different charity organizations.

  Her experience with the Sickle Cell community comes from her sister who had the disease but was recently cured do to a bone marrow transplant. Her other siblings also carry the trait.

  Maya's goal for the Sickle Cell Foundation is to reach not only teens that have the disease, but also teens that live with family members that have it and witness the disease at its worst. Maya hopes to better relate with teens that live with this disease everyday to provide encouragement and support.
