Edward's Journey
About the Foundation
How It All Started
Edward F. Hardy, who was diagnosed with the disease at 6 months, has been hospitalized several times with near-death experiences. Despite his challenges caused by sickle cell, he continues to power through his everyday life as a business owner. He lives with his wife and 2 children in Cleveland, Ohio.
Edward’s journey and experiences have motivated him to help those who are going through the difficulties of the sickle cell disease – carriers, caregivers, as well as their family and friends.
Through the Edward F. Hardy Sickle Cell Foundation, he would like to continue providing assistance and resources to instil hope to the members of the sickle cell community.

The mission of the Edward F. Hardy Sickle Cell Foundation is to break the cycle of mistreatment toward Sickle Cell patients, raise awareness of Sickle Cell disease to the world, and deliver support to the Sickle Cell population and their caregivers, aiding in a longer life span.
