Elizabeth's personal story:
As many of you know, I developed life-threatening food allergies as an adult in my mid-20s. I live my daily life with Anaphylaxis to peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish as well as multiple medications. Among multiple allergic reactions, I've had two near-fatal reactions, one while 6 months pregnant with our son Cam. As a result, I've dedicated much of my life to helping all of us, of all ages, stay alive and thrive with food allergies.
I am a spokesperson for the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Connection Team and MedicAlert Foundation and was featured in the children's book One of the Gang with Football's Jerome Bettis, who was inducted into the Football Hall of Fame in 2015. My story is also featured in the Hay House book PERCOLATE - Let Your Best Self Filter Through.
About A Lesson for Every Child: Learning About Food Allergies
Learning was everything to Mrs. Emerson. So when a new student was brought into her classroom, Mrs. Emerson was delighted because she discovered that this young man knew something that everyone needed to know. She told her class that Jack was just like everyone else, except for one thing – he had food allergies. “Would you like to explain that to us, Jack?” Jack proceeds to educate us all.
This book is endorsed by Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Connection Team (FAACT), MedicAlert® Foundation, Elijah Alavi Foundation, The Love for Giovanni Foundation, No Nut Traveler, and Food Allergy Zone.
