About the 2026 Walk for Sickle Cell Austin
The walk takes place in Austin and centers on sickle cell disease awareness. The morning includes health education, live music, and vendors alongside the walk itself. A balloon release honors those who have been lost to the disease, which gives the event a more solemn moment amid the rest of the morning.
