What's up with Food Allergies? |
|
|
Hi ! It doesn't matter if we are 8, 18, or 38. May 8-14 is Food Allergy Awareness Week in the U.S. and each of us has the power to educate, advocate and build awareness. Make this May your month to do just that — in ways big or small. Read a children's book about food allergies to your child's class, attend Fare's Virtual Courage at Congress May 16-19, or wear your red sneakers on International Red Sneakers Day on May 20th. We're stronger together! 💕 Gayle Rigione, Allergy Force Co-founder |
