Turning anaphylaxis tragedy into purpose through the Allison Rose Foundation
Show Notes

Although death from a food allergy is rare, when it happens to your child, the rarity of it doesn't matter. And how do you move forward?

I'm honored to be joined on this episode with Mike and Becca Suhy of the Allison Rose Foundation. Mike and Becca founded this amazing non-profit to honor their sweet daughter Allison, who passed away from anaphylaxis when she was just a freshman in college.

Mike and Becca are turning their tragedy into purpose by creating amazing food allergy educational opportunities for their community. In collaborating with board-certified allergists and the Code Ana organization, Allison Rose Foundation education has reached THOUSANDS of teens and school personnel across Ohio. 

Tune in to this episode to learn about their daughter, the food allergy education they're leading, and their tips for advocating for your child.
