Food Allergy Awareness Week

This week (May 9-15) is Food Allergy Awareness Week! My awesome Photographer, friend, ward member, woman I visiting teach, her daughter has severe food allergies. This sweet little girl is about 3 months younger then Gavin & is the CUTEST little thing! Help us spread awareness to this cause. Ashley is hosting a giveaway this week on her Blog about this cause, so go on over to her blog & comment for your chance to win an AMAZING prize. Don't forget to mention that I sent you over!

"May 9-15 is Food Allergy Awareness Week. Did you know that approximately 12 million Americans suffer from Food Allergies? Eight foods account for 90% of all food allergies. If you see someone showing signs of allergic reactions (all over hives, eyes swelling, trouble breathing, heart problems, etc.) use an epi-pen and call 911 immediately!"

The eight foods are milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nut (walnut, cashew, etc.), fish, shellfish, soy and wheat. To learn more about Food Allergies & this weeks Food Allergy Awareness Week, please visit the Utah Food Allergy Network's website! Lets all help get the word out!
