London Knight was born diagnosed with sickle cell SC at the age of 3 months. Ever since she understood what sickle cell was she knew it was very important to follow her dreams as a model. Now she's a successful model traveling all over the world, being on covers of multiple magazines such as Elle, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, and Marie Claire, walking runways in Mecerdes Benz Fashion week New York and Johannesburg South Africa, also appearing in movies & commercials. Volunteering in the children’s hospital is a passion of hers and something that is close to her heart. She is an advocate for young sickle cell warriors preaching that no matter your trails and tribulations it is important to follow your dreams.
God has a plan for you & having sickle cell shouldn't give you doubt it should be the thing that drives you. I know it can really hard sometimes mentally and physically but keep going dont give up everything you dream of will come to you. God has chosen you as one of the stronger soldiers. To teach compassion and love because you never know what other people are going through!
The purpose of the Londons Love Foundation is to educate through awareness, self confidence building skills and activities to maintain sickle cell disease and mental illness. Alongside with education, self help is also a key component to provide comfortability for the disease.
