"Walk for Food Allergy: Moving Toward A Cure"

The Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network’s annual fund raising walk, "Walk for Food Allergy: Moving Toward A Cure" is coming up for us in the Detroit area on September 20. The money raised will go towards research for a cure for life-threatening food allergies. This will be our fist time participating and we are excited! There are several walks going on around the country. Click here to find the location nearest to you.

If you are within driving distance of any of these locations, I encourage you to walk, even if you can’t afford to donate anything. The ability to connect with other parents that have children with life threatening food allergies is worth it. Plus, meeting other children with PA and other life-threatening food allergies is great for PA kids. In a world when they feel like they are the minority, at the FAAN walk, they will be the majority.

Check out the “Peanut Allergy Kid” FAAN Walk page. If you are in the Detroit area and want to join us, click on "Join My Team." If you are unable to walk but still want to donate to the fund raising efforts, you can click on “Support Me” to contribute to our team, if you would like.
