Joan Lambright, 83, has spent her entire life defying the odds. Born in 1939, she was told she wouldn't survive her teenage years after being diagnosed with Sickle Cell Anemia.
A woman in Philadelphia's Mount Airy neighborhood is believed to be one of the oldest living patients with Sickle Cell Disease in the country.
The CDC now says that 1 in 13 African American babies is born with the trait for Sickle Cell Disease."If I'm unhappy, if I have moments of depression, that can trigger a crisis," she said. She's become an advocate for her own health, working with the Red Cross to encourage people to donate blood.
