#Miles4Anaphylaxis...Racing to spread anaphylaxis awareness around the world!

It is hard to believe, but it is almost May! That means that Food Allergy Awareness Month is almost upon us!  Where has the time gone?

This year, Aaryn and I decided we wanted to try something new and exciting for Food Allergy Awareness Month (after all, how can you thrive if you keep doing the same thing over and over again?).  After lots of conversation, we kept finding ourselves coming back to the same question...how do we connect all of the amazing groups and advocates that we know (and admire)?

The answer was surprisingly simple.  We all work together as a team with the same goal!

Out of this conversation, the #Miles4Anaphylaxis idea was born.  We wondered, "what if
 we could 'circle' the world, raising awareness of food allergies and anaphylaxis one step at a time?".  At first, the process seemed terrifyingly complicated (for the record, it still does...we just decided nothing ventured, nothing gained).  But conversation after conversation reinforced that while we may live on opposite sides of the world, food allergies and anaphylaxis have made us one big family!

So here is the deal...starting May 1st, we will beginning "circling the globe".  We will be raising food allergy/anaphylaxis awareness with every mile! And WE NEED YOU!!!!  You can hike, bike, run, walk, swim, ski, rollerblade (is it still a thing?), skateboard, surf, or even crawl!  No matter how you do it, each step gets us closer to the 24,901.55 miles it will take to hit our goal!  All you need to do is do your thing and email us your mileage at miles4anaphylaxis@gmail.com!While you are out getting your miles in, feel free to join us in rocking teal.  We will be rocking a teal flower every step of the way! And please use the hashtag #miles4anaphylaxis so that we can see all of your awesome work!
