The Chicago FARE Walk again had over 1100 walkers and raised at least $119K in funds for food allergy research and awareness! Thanks to our huge team of 24 at Team Associated Allergists, we raised over $1500 ourselves!
To my patients who were at the walk and may not have seen the official photos, you can access them here, thanks to last-minute volunteer photogs Vince Kan and York Chan!
Fall walks are always tricky, whether a frigid front or a torrential monsoon that ends just before the walk starts as we had this year. But the smiles and the music and the feeling of community and empowerment are infectious and uplifting!
If you haven’t gone to a FARE Walk in your city, please do! Food allergy is a disease that causes constant anxiety, fear, and frustration, but for at least one day, we get to celebrate our family and progress!
