Race For Sickle Cell & Sickle Cell Trait

Twenty-five years later, the pain is still real, but so is the purpose. The Darling Dash is how we keep Devaughn’s name alive, to raise awareness that can save lives, for sickle cell disease.”— Devard Darling

HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, March 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The As One Foundation is gearing up for the 16th Annual Darling Dash, a signature race and community movement focused on raising awareness and critical support for sickle cell disease and the often-overlooked risks tied to sickle cell trait. This year’s event is especially meaningful as the foundation marks 25 years since the loss of Devaughn Darling in 2001.

The Darling Dash will take place Sunday, March 15, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. at Sugar Land Memorial Park, located at 15300 University Blvd., Sugar Land, TX 77479.
