FARE Walk, Milwaukee WI

Today was the FARE Walk to say FAREWELL to Allergies in Downtown Milwaukee. It was a great event, there were quite a few sponsors with samples, a fire truck, inflatables for the kids, crafts, balloons and a DJ. The opening ceremony was a great speech and then the 2.5 mile walk started. I walked with Nathan, my sister, her son and my sisters' friend. It was a great day!!

The Tooth Fairy

Tonight was the night the Tooth Fairy came to our house for the first time. Nathan lost his first tooth today.

Another Broken Arm

School hasn't even ended yet, Summer vacation has not started yet but Nathan broke his arm after the first Baseball practice He was running, tripped and fell.  I feel so bad for him.

 Because of the lack or dairy milk and Nathan only getting Soy or Rice milk in his diet, I feel he needs more. Either a calcium supplement or some protein powders.

What do you do to help keep your child's bones healthy and strong?

Nathan's Story In Our Local Newspaper

I emailed our local newspaper to see if they would publish a story about Nathan's allergies, raise awareness for Food Allergy week and promote the FARE Food Allergy Walk that is held next month here in our area.

Thanks!!

Food Allergy Bullying: It's Not a Joke

Here is a new video from FARE, makes me sad that kids can be so mean.

Food Allergy Awareness Week

Food Allergy Awareness Week starts this week: 

May 12th through May 18th. 

I have been busy getting ready for the FARE Food Allergy Walk coming to Milwaukee, WI on June 9th, 2013. I need to hand out flyers and order our team shirts, who knew there was so much to do to get ready for the walk.

Did you register for the walk yet? Hurry, you still have time to register here.

I have been working on my fundraising because The Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) is an important organization, their mission is to ensure the safety and inclusion of all those with food allergies while seeking a cure. They need funds to research treatments and to help find a cure of the potentially life threatening allergies that affect at least 15 million Americans. This disease affects 1 in every 13 children in the U.S.  or roughly 2 children in each classroom. FARE is committed to advocacy at all levels of government and increasing awareness of food allergies.

I hope I will see you at the walk. If you can't be there and would like to donate you can do so here.

Happy Mothers Day!!

I got the sweetest Mother's Day Card, I am so blessed.

 

Hope all you Moms had a very Happy Mothers Day!!
