Tevin Coleman’s Cleats<\/p><\/div>\n

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman and Arizona Cardinals linebacker Markus Golden will support the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America through the NFL\u2019s My Cause My Cleats program by wearing custom-designed cleats with inspirational artwork and messages to raise awareness and engagement around sickle cell disease.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled and grateful to Tevin and Markus for recognizing the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America on their cleats this year,\u201d said Regina Hartfield, president and CEO of the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America. \u201cThe visibility and support mean so much to us and the thousands of families living with sickle cell disease across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coleman is an eight-year veteran running back in the NFL. For him, supporting the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America means supporting his daughter.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the father of a child who lives with sickle cell disease, I know how important it is for people affected by sickle cell to receive the high-quality health care and support they need and deserve. I\u2019m proud that my cleats this year will help support the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America and also recognize the strength of my daughter, Nazaneen, who inspires me every day,\u201d Coleman said. \u201cTogether with my wife, Akilah, our hope is that by raising awareness and connecting people to this amazing organization, we will help more individuals and families battling this condition to live well and thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Off the field, Tevin and Akilah Coleman partner with Pfizer to advocate for sickle cell disease and share their family\u2019s story at SickleCellSpeaks.com<\/a>. Pfizer partners with the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America to advance education and awareness of sickle cell disease.<\/p>\n

Coleman worked with footwear artist and designer Dan Gamache, known as \u201cMache,\u201d to create cleats honoring those who inspire his commitment to help improve the lives of people with sickle cell. The cleats include the name of Coleman\u2019s 5-year-old daughter, Nazaneen, and her favorite animal, a purple butterfly, alongside sickle cell imagery in the style of Hertz Nazaire, a renowned artist and sickle cell warrior. The cleats will also feature the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America\u2019s logo and a unifying hashtag, #SickleCellMatters.<\/p>\n

A Sickle Cell Disease Association of America celebrity ambassador, Golden grew up in St. Louis, graduated from the University of Missouri and was selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2015 NFL draft. He has featured the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America and sickle cell causes on his cleats in past years.<\/p>\n

\u201cSickle cell disease is a condition that\u2019s often forgotten, but it profoundly affects so many families across the country,\u201d Golden said. \u201cI lost my cousin Jonah at only 10 years old to the disease, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m so driven to bring attention to sickle cell and the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America on my cleats this year. I\u2019m proud to once again partner with such an important organization to support people with sickle cell. I hope every step I take on the field is a step toward finding a cure for sickle cell.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NFL will auction Golden\u2019s and Coleman\u2019s cleats on the league\u2019s website<\/a> after the Week 13 games. Auction proceeds will support the Sickle Cell Disease Association of America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
