We were excited to see so many familiar faces at the Virginia Beach FAAN Walk for Food Allergies last Saturday. It was great to reconnect with so many of you that we have missed seeing since the store closed in July. And this year it was a great privilege to be the Honorary Walk Chair.

Even though it was a little chilly on Saturday morning, there were lots of walkers out to support the event. We shared good company with other sponsors like Enjoy Life Foods, Sunbutter, Lucy’s Cookies, and our friends at FASGOT and Food Allergy Associates.

For those that stopped by our table, they were treated to samples of Glee Gum. These gums are a family favorite, being free of the top 8 allergens and naturally colored and flavored. A special thanks goes to this company for being so allergy friendly and for providing us with samples to share with walkers.

If you missed the walk or do not have one in your local area, you can still donate online at www.foodallergywalk.org. More thanks goes to the Walk Chair, Stacey Hughey, for coordinating the event and to the group Picup Kids for performing at the walk.
