Help Rosina raise money

I am excited to run my first Falmouth Road Race with AAFA, a foundation near and dear to my family. 

My 6 year old son, Cameron, was diagnosed with life threatening food allergies at 3 months old. We entered into the scary world of food allergies. What seems to most like something “not that bad”, we were faced with so much unknown and didn’t know what was safe for Cameron. 

Thankfully, we had the guidance and knowledge of an amazing allergist, friends who have children with food allergies, family/friends ready to help, and AAFA. Through the foundation’s research, support with food labels, information about cross contamination, and outreach, we were able to reach our “new normal” and not feel so overwhelmed. 

Many calls were made and emails sent to companies before we purchased food. We made spread sheets, always carry wipes, call restaurants before we go, always pack our own snacks, have amazing friends and family who check labels so things are “Cameron-safe”, and so much more to make sure Cameron gets what he needs.  It is never ending, but it’s worth it to make sure Cameron gets the same experiences as every other child.

Although he has thankfully outgrown two allergies, he remains allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame  

My hope in doing this run is to raise money to support other families who are new to the allergy world and those who have been in it for a while. No family should be faced with this diagnosis alone. 

Thank you for your donations!
