Our clan is excited about participating in the Walk for a Cure for Food Allergy. As you may know, six out of seven of our children have multiple food allergies. We've had several frightening moments over the past few years when the children have had allergic reactions to food. We have to avoid dairy, eggs, soy, nuts, peanut, sesame, all beans and peas, strawberry, watermelon, kiwi, wheat, barley, oat, corn, some artificial coloring, and many other fruits and vegetables. The allergies vary by child so it can be confusing to keep up with what foods are safe for which child.
The Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) provides support to families like ours and helps fund education and research for food allergy. We are pleased to help raise money for this great organization!
