Mya was diagnosed with sickle cell disease when she was only three months old. Now, she's a patient at St. Jude, where the research into sickle cell disease is leading to more effective treatments and better quality of life for patients.

This is a patient story I shot and edited for St. Jude that premiered at the 2018 St. Jude Jam concert, an annual event that kicks of the FedEx/St. Jude Classic golf tournament.
