It shouldn't be this hard...to make sure my nut allergy never defined me.

It shouldn't be this hard...but to anyone reading this, remember you are not alone.

Why Natasha's Story Matters.

Natasha’s story matters because we don’t want any more families to suffer as we have done. It matters because people should not live in fear of their food allergies as we did.

“I have to keep fighting for my son’s safety”

I received a phone call from school advising me to come and collect Rufus because he had a bad cold and was asking for me. I was there in 10 minutes and as soon as I saw him, I said, "He’s having an allergic reaction!"

Gaining Independence with Food Allergies

"I’m 15 years old and I’ve been severely allergic to nearly all tree nuts since I was 2 years old. Throughout my childhood, my mum has been there for me during every allergic reaction I’ve had, but last winter, in the run-up to Christmas, I had to go it alone for the first time without my mum.”
