Sunday September 26th is inked in my calendar, underlined and circled three times.
It’s the date of the Boston FAAN (Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network) Walk.
Food Allergies are important to our family because our 7 year old son is severely affected by them. It has changed his life and ours and impacts every part of his day.
We are walking as much for a treatment as we are for a cure. We don’t care if our son can ever safely eat a peanut in his lifetime. We just don’t want a peanut to be the cause of his death.
If you’ll be in the Boston area this weekend, come by and walk with us. If not, please consider donating to our walk team. Every dollar counts and you can make a difference.
