Thank you to everyone who contributed to the first annual Walk for Food Allergy in Arizona!  As logistics chair, I am extremely excited for this year's walk- it's going to be even bigger and better!


We had 746 people attend, and we raised $42,135!  FANTASTIC!


Nationally FAAN Walks raised $2,469,082 to fund research, education, awareness, and find a cure!

New Anaphylaxis Canada Teen Video Series


My great friend Kyle Dine from Anaphylaxis Canada (and also the one and only allergy musician at kyledine.com) has published a new video series that reaches out to teens!

Kyle and I met virtually about 6 years ago, and I finally got to meet him in person this year at the Arizona Walk for Food Allergy! We have always been fascinated in each other's work- him being the youth Coordinator for Anaphylaxis Canada, and me wanting to create FoodAllergyTalk.com for all ages with an emphasis on teens (since I am one!)

Anyways, check out the youtube videos- they are fantastic! http://www.youtube.com/anaphylaxiscanada
