Meeting Name:          FAAN Walk for Food Allergy: Moving Toward a Cure

Meeting Dates:           October 22, 2011

Proposal Deadline Date: Thursday, October 13, 2011

The Sixth Annual FAAN Walk for Food Allergy to help find a cure to protect people with life-threatening food allergies will take place Saturday, October 22 starting at 9:30 AM at Oakland Community College - 27055 Orchard Lake Rd Orchard Ridge Campus Farmington Hills, MI. 

The Walk, will benefit the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) in its efforts to raise funds to provide education and advocacy, and to advance research on behalf of all Americans affected by food allergies and anaphylaxis. The theme this year is an "Autumn Festival." 

 

The prevalence of food allergy among children in the U.S. is higher than previously reported, with 8%,or 1 out of every 12 children affected, according to the findings of a new study. The study, published in Pediatrics, the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, also revealed that among the 5.9 million children with food allergies, 39 percent have a history of severe reactions and 30 percent have multiple food allergies. "This study provides us with further compelling support that food allergies are a growing health concern among children in the U.S., and also gives us new information about the demographics of those with food allergies," said FAAN CEO Maria Acebal.

Needs: We are in need of volunteers on walk day to play games with families and/or product donations for basket raffles.

Action Requested: Interested volunteers should contact Melissa Vecchi at detroitchair@foodallergy.org
