Every three minutes, a food allergy reaction sends someone to the emergency room in the U.S. A life-altering and potentially life-threatening disease, food allergy affects 32 million Americans.

Right now, there is no treatment or cure for food allergy... but there is HOPE.

I am a board member of the FARE - Rising Leaders Committee, a dynamic group of a selected few young professionals across the country who serve as enthusiastic advocates for the food allergy community and assist in the development of strategic relationships for the organization. As many of you know, I have severe food allergies myself and finding ways to support the mission of food allergy research has always been a passion of mine.

That's why for my birthday, I'm raising funds for FARE to help them fulfill their mission to improve the quality of life and the health of individuals with food allergies, and to provide them hope through the promise of new treatments. Here’s how you can help:

DONATE NOW! For my birthday, my goal is to raise as much money as possible in honor of the 32 million Americans with food allergies. Any amount helps, and when you donate, you help FARE to fund food allergy education programs, advocacy and awareness initiatives, and world-class research. Together, we can create a better future for all who are affected by food allergies!
