The Houston-based As One Foundation will host the 14th annual Sickle Cell 10K, 5K, and 1K race is back. The Darling Dash is held in honor of the As One Foundation founder and former Houston Texans player Devard Darling’s identical twin brother, Devaughn, who died from complications of Sickle Cell Trait.

The annual race helps to bring awareness to athlete deaths that plague the sickle cell community. Sickle Cell Trait is classified as the leading non-injury killer of college athletes and affects 2.5 to 4 million people in the U.S.

Funds from the race also support monthly blood drives in partnership with Red Cross and the Gulf Coast Regional Blood Bank for sickle cell patients who need lifesaving blood transfusions once or twice a month.
