Dear all,

I felt terrible when I heard a seven year old child lost her life due to a preventable food allergy reaction. After the shock a parent from my son's class and I decided to talk about this in our preschool. We did a presentation on January 18.

We talked about how important it is to raise awareness and to create supportive communities. Policies and action plans are must haves but individuals are the ones who implement them...We talked to a group of about twenty parents. We only asked for ten minutes of their time, they all gave us their utmost attention, empathy and sincere concern. We received great suggestions. Questions, recommendations from other parents and the underlying tone was so very well received. Revisions and allergy awareness starting at open houses were underway before I left the room:)

More than 12 million people have food allergies and the numbers are rising. Raising awareness, creating supportive communities are key to prevent a severe allergic reaction from happening. I would like to share the link so that every one can view and share the presentation. I relied on FAAN's web site to put the presentation together and the facts and numbers were an eye opener and helped to get the attention of every parent in the room.
