The quest to offer food allergy treatment to all BC families
Until fairly recently, a food allergy diagnosis was devastating to a family. Worrying about cross-contamination, not participating in school functions or social gatherings involving food, avoiding travel...
The Food Allergy Immunotherapy (FAIT) program at UBC/BCCH, for which I am honoured to work as research manager, provides hope for families receiving this diagnosis.
Growing in leaps and bounds through generous donations from our community, this program has been able to change the lives of hundreds of families in BC.
But we aren't stopping there! We want to offer treatment to all BC families who desire it, through innovative research protocols and delivery methods that will reach not only across the province, but nationally, and even globally!
Help us with our quest by joining Team Allergy at the RBC Race for the Kids. If you can't make it, you can still help by donating to our team.
The entire FAIT program team thanks you from the bottom of our hearts!
