My wife and I have just formed a nonprofit foundation called the "Urevbu Foundation"
The purpose of the foundation is for sickle cell empowerment and education. My son Joshua Urevbu was born with sickle cell disease four years ago and he's been a great inspiration and an eye opener for us.
Sickle cell disease affects African Americans primarily and there is no cure. We're there foreseeking boardmembers with something to contribute to this course.
