These handmade cards are a heartwarming way to say thanks to friends & family who go above & beyond for your allergy kiddo. <3 Plus, all proceeds go to the #top10challenge, bringing us one step closer to that $25,000 allergy research grant via @thecaaif. https://t.co/5oXuNoirNh

Love love love @FressyBessie's ice lollies! A yummy treat for the kids without the #momguilt... or the allergens. ;)

@TurnItTeal Hmmm we arrive on May 13th and looks like that's the last day of the lighting. Will try my best to check it out, but may be impossible... Boo hoo. 😢

[Kathleen O'Hagan @AllergyBitesTO]

So excited I might be able to check out the lighting in #DublinIreland 💙💙

[Kathleen O'Hagan @AllergyBitesTO]

@TurnItTeal Uh oh. No, I didn't. Will check now!

[Kathleen O'Hagan @AllergyBitesTO]

@walkforandrea Thanks for the explanation. What an unfortunate thing to do to people who are already adjusting to life without a whole bunch of foods/products/brands. How unfair to further limit them for no reason!

[Kathleen O'Hagan @AllergyBitesTO]

@walkforandrea Thank you for sharing! I can't believe this is still an actual thing allergists do with all the research/info that supports *not* doing it. Gr.

#top10challenge On the very first day of #FoodAllergyAwarenessMonth, the committee is feeling humbled, overwhelmed, ecstatic, gracious, hopeful, & more. We made it to the end of our inaugural Challenge and we more than DOUBLED our fundraising goal. THANK YOU. We did it!!!

[Kathleen O'Hagan @AllergyBitesTO]

@FAtreatmenttalk @JackieBjelacMD @Brian34Schroer Such a great training tool!! There's nothing more disheartening than an allergist who lacks empathy. Maybe we should team up to help spread the word next year! 💙

#top10challenge Today's dinner: Chicken fried rice with @NakedCoconuts gluten-free "soy" sauce and a bit of @FranksRedHot to add a bit of bite to it. Yum! 😋🍴#adayontheplate Last day to donate --> https://t.co/KQ8jMseeVz @thecaaif @AllergicLiving

[Kathleen O'Hagan @AllergyBitesTO]

#top10challenge Completely blanked & ordered my usual cappuccino. Didn't even occur to me it was made w dairy until I was almost done. What was an innocent mistake on my part could have been a DEADLY mistake for someone with a dairy allergy. #somethingtothinkabout #adayontheplate

[Kathleen O'Hagan @AllergyBitesTO]

#top10challenge Today's lunch: Yummy top allergen-free veggie burger from @HilarysEatWell with a side of beans from @FarmBoy. Not so hungry anymore! #adayontheplate Donate here --> https://t.co/KQ8jMrWDwZ @thecaaif @AllergicLiving
