First Louisiana patient functionally cured of sickle cell disease through gene therapy

Uh, so today was a bell ringing ceremony. Uh, I was the first one in the state of Louisiana to obtain gene therapy and new treatment, uh, to cure my disease, the sickle cell, and we're celebrating the 100 day mark.

And so now I can live my, my new life, my new body, my new cells.

Yeah, it was just a great gathering and uh I'm pretty much cured. I'm just ready to move on with the next uh chapter of my life and that's finally getting back to flight training.
