Drive created in memory of black teenager with sickle cell disorder who was found dead in Epping Forest
A blood donation drive has begun in memory of a black teenager with sickle cell disorder who was found dead in Epping Forest.
Evidence Joel, the mother of Richard Okorogheye, 19, whose body was found in Essex on 5 April is backing the donation drive beginning on Saturday – called Bonded by Blood: A Mother’s Story. It has been created by a group of black health charities including the ACLT (African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust), along with community organisations Unsickle My Cells (CIC) and SickleKan.
