The Elephant in The Classroom, Part One

Normally, we stick to try to focus on the positive.  We are a "thriving with food allergies" kind of group.  However, we have noticed a trend...schools treating life threatening food allergies as if they were anything but that.  So...here we go.

The subject of children who die due to anaphylaxis in school is not one often talked about.  Sure, we talk about our worst fears.  We talk about the few we know.  But very few of us know how many have actually died in school.  Why?  Well.........

We owe it to our loved ones...those who have died in school to anaphylaxis to remember them.  To burn each of their names into our memories.  So, today, remember, when fighting for change, remember these names.  (We have also included a slideshow that we created just for our friends and family of some of the school/non-school anaphylaxis losses experienced).
