FARE Walk for Food Allergy on Long Island

There are approximately 16 million Americans with food

allergies and 5.9 million of them are

children.  Food allergies cause 30,000 emergency room visits each year and

are life-threatening .  There is no cure.

Join us to raise awareness, education and funds for

research on Sunday, October 13th at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow at the FARE ( Food Allergy Research & Education)

Walk for Food Allergies.  Registration begins at 12:00. It will be a fun

afternoon with a carnival area for smaller children, great raffles for the

adults and an awesome dj. Check out our facebook page at FARE Walk for Food

Allergy on Long Island too.  For more information on food allergies and to

register to walk with us visit www.foodallergy.org

and look for the Long Island Walk page.  We can’t wait to see you there.
