Do you like to travel? Have you visited Buffalo NY? August 11th is the annual FAAN (The Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network) fundraising walk in Buffalo. You can register to walk on-line with FAAN. http://www.foodallergywalk.org/site/TR/2012Walks/2012Walks?pg=informational&fr_id=2160&type=fr_informational&sid=1280 At Delaware Park, you’ll enjoy tasty, allergy-friendly samples of food, because local and national companies support the FAAN walks. Also, you may meet new friends and, of course, you will get healthy exercise.
