I'm fundraising for better ways to treat and care for infants and children with paediatric allergies.
No infant or child should die or suffer from a reaction to what they eat.
Food is to be enjoyed and shared. It provides a fundamental basis for the well-being, growth, and development of a child.
It was when my dearest girlfriend’s baby daughter almost died from being kissed by her father who ate a nut, and there was no help anywhere to be found, that the Ilhan Food Allergy Foundation was born 21 years ago.
When invited to be a part of the fundraising committee 15 years ago, I said 'yes' and continue to say 'yes' to support the cause. Let's make a difference and make a change!
Today, we see a growing global problem of severe food allergies, spreading across different food groups and a rise in fatalities from food.
In Australia, it is now a crisis of epidemic proportions
We have:
- 1:10 infants born today are diagnosed with a food allergy
- Non-fatal food anaphylaxis resulting in hospital admission is on the rise
- Food anaphylaxis fatalities are on the rise
- Increase in wait times to see a specialist doctor/ fellow are now up to 18+ months
In September 2024, 20 individuals will each walk up to 20km a day for eight days to raise awareness and funds for The Centre for Paediatric Allergies.
My personal goal is to raise $10,000 and more!!
100% of the funds raised will go towards a fellowship. A fellowship is so that a doctor can be trained to treat Australian infants and children with severe food allergies, as well as, support ongoing research in a specialised area.
The more we raise, means:
- More medical fellows and specialised doctors
- A decrease in wait times to see a fellow and specialised doctors
- More infants/ children treated
- More infants/ children's lives saved
- More knowledge and understanding of food allergies
Please join me to make a difference.
Thank you for your
support and generosity, to a cause dear to my heart -- children and food.
