More fun FAAN Walk for Food Allergy pictures 2010

7

Yesterday was the Los Angeles FAAN Walk for Food Allergy.  Amazingly, it was just as lovely a day as the Chicago FAAN Walk for Food Allergy one week prior.

And similarly to Chicago, many more people turned out than expected, coming together to move towards a cure for food allergies. I am always so moved to be around other Food Allergy Families, and am so excited to see more and more people putting the pedal to the metal.  We are fighting for a cure, and I can glimpse it on the horizon…

My team, Team LA surpassed our fundraising goal, raising $1249.80, thanks to the generosity of many of you readers!  Thank you — you are the best! The walk itself raised $49,278.88!  And there is still time to donate.  Last week’s walk in Chicago raised over $90,000! Wow!  That’s a tremendous accomplishment.

I met a lot of lovely new friends at both the LA Walk and Chicago Walk.  I am so grateful to have been an honorary chair at both walks, and I hope you’ll have me back again next year.  Below are some pictures of highlights.
