Actress, Jordin Sparks speaks about the My Special Aflac Duck and a cause which is close to her heart, sickle-cell disease. The singer and actress stars in the new Hallmark Christmas movie, A Christmas Treasure, is also raising awareness on sickle cell disease

"The special thing about this is that it is kind of robotic. It's a way for the kids to feel a little bit more comfort with sickle-cell disease. It's a way for the kids to feel like they can mitigate but also feel a sense of safety."
