KeepSmilin4Abbie Foundation

1 in every 20 Americans are at risk for Anaphylaxis and that's why I'm raising funds to support their mission to #stopanaphylaxis. Any amount you can contribute will be donated to the KeepSmilin4Abbie foundation which supports food allergy research and education. Your donation is greatly appreciated! I am honored to be able to represent the KeepSmilin4Abbie foundation in the Newburyport November'21 Half Marathon and spread awareness about anaphylaxis.

What is anaphylaxis? Anaphylaxis is a serious, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. The entire body can be affected within five minutes to an hour of being exposed. Sometimes, up to 12 hours after the initial reaction, a second anaphylactic reaction (or a biphasic reaction) can occur. By nature, anaphylaxis is unpredictable and can sometimes occur without an identifiable trigger. If you or a loved one suffer from food allergies, it is crucial to consult with an allergist to discuss avoidance and the best treatments for your reactions.
