Michigan Governor Recognizes Food Allergies

I can't believe it has taken me this to blog about this (well, I've been sick for over two weeks so maybe its not that shocking!) but being an advocate for food allergies really pays off.

Remember when I asked you in April to contact your state's Governor to recognize Food Allergy Awareness Week in your state in early May? (It's OK if you forgot, you can refresh your memory here.)

Well, in the midst of illness in the middle of May, I got a special certificate from our Governor here in Michigan. Woo hoo!

Advocating for awareness really makes a difference. Before Tyler was born in 2005, food allergies were something I never thought about. Now, not a day goes by when they don't cross my mind frequently throughout the day. Instead of fretting about it all, I decided to be an advocate for him. The certificate below is just one thing to remind me that it truly does pay off.
