May is Food Allergy Awareness Month, and I’m so excited to kick it off by thanking Governor Doug Burgum for proclaiming May 12-18, 2024 as Food Allergy Awareness Week in North Dakota! Being a food allergy parent is the most difficult role I’ve ever had – a long journey with a steep learning curve. But while we did not choose this life, we can choose how we respond to it. I advocate for my children and all those living with food allergies because a little kindness, compassion, and understanding make a world of difference.
Also, thanks to Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) for their leadership and resources on how to request a proclamation! You can visit their website to see if a proclamation has been requested or declared in your state.
