As a woman with sickle cell anemia attests to living longer than is generally expected for her condition, online users offer their moral support.
The attractive young woman was determined to dispel the widespread myth that people with sickle cell anemia die young.
She displayed a picture of herself as a baby and wrote in the caption that people with her condition are thought to pass away before they turn 20.
Later pictures disproved this theory when she displayed images from her vibrant, young 20s, in which she appeared healthy and vibrantly alive.
