FAAN walk for a Cure.. in SF!

Our support group attended the FAAN walk towards a cure in SF this weekend. Despite the drizzle and grey skies, it was great!

There were lots of vendors represented; I especially liked speaking with one of the managers at EpiPen. I requested they look into redesigning the Pen to make it smaller; there is apparently something in the works for next year.

I tasted Divvies cookies which are great, a new candy bar from Enjoy-life foods, which is really yummy - and also Crayon all-natural fruit and sports drinks, which I LOVE. My son can't drink Gatorade because the whites of his eyes go red (allergy?); I guess its the artificial color.. so these natural ones are great! Thank you Crayon! Now he wont feel left out when his team have a special after-soccer drink :-)

Gabrielle and I manned a table for our support group; we had lots of people interested in finding out about our group. We shared the table along with FEAST, a support group based in the East bay. It was really great to meet the FEAST leader, Mimi, and talk to her about what they had done.

Gabrielle and I had cute buttons for giveaways, which said 'Peanut Free Mama', 'Ix-nay Uts-Nay', and 'Dont you dare feed me'. They were really popular. Next year we'll also have some other foods represented (Allergies are not Eggsadurated, or TWheat Allergies Seriously!, maybe?). If you have good ideas for other slogans, let me know!
