We had a blast as we danced to music from our car radio, made kids laugh and smile, handed out coloring books and safe candy – all while spreading awareness and compassion for food allergies.

We had a line that went all around the parking lot!  We are happy to report that all of the candy and coloring books were  dropped in Trick-or-Treater’s bags!

Parent upset about school nut ban loses lawsuit.

The fact that this story exists demonstrates such a lack of caring.  It’s but one of many examples of what parents of food allergic children have to deal with. It is so sorely disappointing that it takes a court to mandate protection of a child’s life.  Even worse, that adults are capable of this behavior:

“…some parents sent their kids to school with peanut products and appeared in the cafeteria to prevent enforcement [of the nut ban that was put into place to protect students with life-threatening allergies to peanuts and nuts].”
