Hi!! Thanks for visiting my page:)
My name is Sara Helmes and I’m thrilled to be running on behalf of the New England Chapter of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. I am a mom to two boys (3 years and 7 months) and when my 3 year old was 5 months, we realized he was very allergic to peanuts - breaking out in hives from someone eating a peanut butter sandwich nearby.
I’m running because I know that the moment someone you love is diagnosed with a life threatening condition, it changes you. It comes with so much unknown, so much fear, so many questions. While this allergy may ALWAYS be on my mind, I know that there are so many things to keep us safe and so much research being done to help families with allergies. AAFNA is the place to go to help support families affected with both allergies and asthma - it helps fund research and support. It is just what families, like my own, need to help them navigate through this.
Description
How many of your family members and friends are affected by food allergies, environmental allergies, or have asthma? Very likely, more and more. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, New England Chapter helps people with such conditions live healthier, safer and more active lives through patient education, public awareness and continuing research. It's been our mission since 1979 -- and it's becoming more important than ever.
Please support our very FIRST Falmouth Road Race team to help our organization continue such important work!
