September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month, and this month and every month, Team IMPACT is proud to work with children and athletes living with sickle cell disease. Sickle cell disease is a group of inherited blood disorders that cause abnormal hemoglobin production, resulting in misshapen, or \u201csickled,\u201d red blood cells that can get stuck in the blood vessels. This can cause painful episodes called \u201ccrises,\u201d swelling in the hands and feet, infections, fatigue, and decreased oxygen in the blood and organs. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, sickle cell disease affects about 100,000 people in the United States. One of those people is seven-year-old Justus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living with sickle cell disease is all Justus knows. He receives frequent blood transfusions and takes daily medications to help manage the disease. But living with sickle cell can often be unpredictable. \u201cSickle cell can affect the human body spontaneously at any time,\u201d said Jessica, Justus\u2019 mom, \u201cand a pain crisis can last for hours if not treated right away. It takes a toll mentally as well and stops you from doing everyday normal things.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because sickle cell is an invisible disease, it is often hard to understand the pain that someone living with sickle cell can experience on a daily basis. Justus tries every day to not let his sickle cell stop him from doing the things he loves. \u201cI want people to know that you can feel pain on the inside, but you cannot see it on the outside<\/strong>,\u201d he said. And one of the things Justus loves is the Penn men\u2019s basketball team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justus was matched with the Quakers in the fall of 2023. The first time he got to meet the team sticks out in Jessica\u2019s head as one of her favorite days. \u201cWe had just gotten done doing a four-hour blood transfusion when we headed over to meet the Penn basketball team,\u201d she recalled. \u201cThe welcoming Justus got from the team was so nice, and him being involved in practice impacted him very much.\u201d His time with the team took his mind off his appointment and made him focus on the fun of the day instead. As soon as they left campus, Justus was already thinking about his next time with the team. \u201cHe kept talking about what he wanted to do with them at his next meet up,\u201d Jessica said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 In the almost year since, his teammates have grown into some of Justus\u2019 favorite people. \u201cThey make me feel like I am part of the team,<\/strong>\u201d he said. \u201cThey feel like big brothers.\u201d <\/strong>Together, Justus and his new team of big brothers have fun at practice, focus in on game days, and try new things outside of basketball. Justus \u201cfeels right at home\u201d on the basketball court with his teammates, Jessica said, and when he\u2019s at practice, he never wants to leave. His teammates always know it\u2019s going to be a good day full of big smiles and loud laughs whenever Justus is around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As much as the Quakers had an immediate impact on Justus, Justus had an immediate and equal impact on his teammates. “I saw\u00a0Justus\u00a0on the baseline and bent down to give him a high five, instead he ran over and gave me a big hug. His kindness and big smile is what I want people to know about him,” said Augustus Gerhart, a sophomore on the Penn basketball team. “I am inspired by his strength<\/strong>. He has infectious energy and is the happiest kid you\u2019ve ever met.” Senior Reese McMullen shares similar opinions about their smallest teammate, Justus. “What I think everyone should know about\u00a0Justus\u00a0is that he is a radiant kid with a contagious energy,” Reese said. “His presence would give the team a huge boost in confidence and morale during what turned out to be a long, difficult season. <\/strong>The team is very excited to see him again and looking forward to enjoying on court success with his support.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justus has fallen in love with the sport of basketball and the new family he\u2019s found in both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s basketball teams at Penn. \u201cTeam IMPACT gives children a chance to gain an amazing childhood and memories they can have for the rest of their lives<\/strong>,\u201d Jessica said. \u201cThis is a chance to gain big brothers or sisters.\u201d For Justus, each interaction with the Quakers makes this experience even sweeter. \u201cI love all of it,\u201d he said. \u201cI really don\u2019t have a favorite memory with the team. It gets better and better every time I see them!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
