WEGO Health - Asthma and Allergy Group)
What do you have planned this week?
Here's what we're doing:
1. We went to FAAN and signed up for a food allergy walk. We hope to raise money for research to find a cure for food allergies.
2. I'll be attending tomorrow nights Food Allergy Twitter Party.

3. My son is donating a book about food allergies to his classroom to thank his teacher and his classmates for taking such good care of him this year and to teach them a little bit more about his food allergies.
4. Per the suggestions of my wonderful support group on the BabyCenter Food Allergy Board, I am posting a different food allergy "fact" to my Facebook page and Twitter each day.
5. I didn't plan this around Food Allergy Awareness Week, but I am re-educating the school on some issue regarding my son's food allergies that may need to be refreshed.
6. I already wrote to my elected officials asking for support for food allergy awareness and legislation, but if you haven't, then go here to write to your elected officials.
7. I am giving up WHEAT this week per FAI's Give It Up campaign and to support my son and his most severe food allergy.
8. I will be putting a post about food allergies each day on my personal blog.
9. Last year I interviewed my son to get his perspective on his food allergies (you always get his food allergies from my view point) and I'll be doing that again this year and posting it later in the week.
Here are what some other's are doing this week:
Respect Every Bite with Allergy Mom's and FAAN.
If you live in Chicago, Lisa, Cooks, Dines and Shops Allergen Free shares where Food Allergy Mama will be doing a book signing of her new cook book and Lisa herself will be sampling some allergy friendly quinoa.
Nut Free Mom give us FAAW activities taking place around Illinois and a discount coupon for Sweet Alexis
What are you doing? How do you and your family celebrate food allergy awareness week? Do you focus on the awareness or the advocacy? What do we need to do to make sure that we are educating people without inundating people?
