Up to 15 million Americans have a food allergy, which means there are 15 million reasons to get involved with efforts to find a cure. Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE), the nation's leading nonprofit organization dedicated to finding a cure for food allergies and supporting the food allergy community, will host more than 60 FARE Walk for Food Allergy events across the country this year. This national program not only increases awareness of food allergy as a growing public health issue, but also raises vital funds to accelerate world-class research, create educational resources, and advance advocacy priorities.
The FARE Walk for Food Allergy, presented by Mylan, gathers friends, families, neighbors and co-workers together from coast to coast. In 2013, the 65 FARE Walk for Food Allergy events attracted 40,000 people who participated in raising a record $3.6 million. FARE aims to break this fundraising record yet again, in keeping with its commitment to finding a cure for food allergy and ensuring the safety and inclusion of individuals affected by this life-altering and potentially life-threatening disease.
