Howard Woolley, the Sickle Cell Advocate <strong>and</strong> Philanthropist<br />
who regards publishin'g his '1ate wife, Gail Campbell Woolley's<br />
SOAR memoir, among most significant accomplishments<br />
received a Sickle Cell Outst<strong>and</strong>ing Service Award during the<br />
2019 Rol<strong>and</strong> B. Scott Memorial Symposium. SOAR'S memoir<br />
by by Gail Campbell Woolley, who passed in 2015, depicts her<br />
battle with SCD, since her early childhood.<br />
At that Howard University's Center for Sickle Cell Disease,<br />

quite fitting. Whereas Dr. Scott was Howard University's<br />
Chairman of Pediatrics from<br />
1949-1973, in 1972 he established Howard's Center for Sickle<br />
Cell Disease <strong>and</strong> remained Director until hisl990 retirement. In<br />
Dec. 2003, Dr. Scott, aged 93, passed with congestive heart<br />
failure.<br />

story. Woolley published her novel posthumously in 2017. Since<br />
then he has traveled from Sickle Cell Symposiums to Sickle Cell<br />
Conferences spreading his late-wife's story of "SOARING above<br />
a dim prognosis" . Gail was told at seven years old that she<br />
wouldn't live past the age of 35. Proving her doctors wrong, Gail<br />
lived a full life until age 58, battling the disease while<br />
experiencing a successful career <strong>and</strong> marriage. Ignoring her<br />
diagnosis, Gail soared above her diagnosis <strong>and</strong> obstacles. As a<br />
Syracuse University grad, she became a journalist for The<br />
Baltimore Sun, The Washington Times <strong>and</strong> The Washington<br />
Star.<br />
Upon receiving today's award, Howard Woolley, stated: "As<br />
my good friend Beverley Francis-Gibson, President of the Sickle<br />
Cell Disease Association of America (SCDAA) said after<br />
reading Gail's memoir SOAR - "Gail had sickle cell - but sickle<br />
cell didn't have Gail." I accept this award on behalf of Gail. She<br />
battled sickle cell for 58 years <strong>and</strong> she left us with one last parting<br />
shot at the disease called SOAR which is aimed at building<br />
consciousness about' the disease <strong>and</strong> increasing funding for a cure<br />
<strong>and</strong> patient care."<br />
The Rol<strong>and</strong> B. Scott Memorial Symposium was held at<br />
Howard University. This year's theme was "Preparing the Next<br />
Generation of Advocates for Sickle Cell Disease Health Care."<br />
