Sponsored by Food Allergy Research and Education
The FARE Walk for Food Allergy will take place in Westchester County at Glen Island Park in New Rochelle on September 28, 2013. Check-in and activities begin at 1:00 pm. The Walk ceremony starts at 2:00 pm. With more than 60 U.S. locations this year, the FARE Walk for Food Allergy raises money for food allergy research, awareness, advocacy, and education. This potentially life-threatening disease affects up to 15 million Americans, including 1 in every 13 US children – roughly two in every classroom. Last year the Westchester Walk had over 1500 walkers, who raised more than $200,000 for the cause.
This year the Walk, which includes a family fun day loaded with activities and giveaways, welcomes Lee Goldberg, from WABC-TV, as Honorary Chair and Dr. Jennifer Kim, from Mount Sinai Hospital, as Honorary Medical Chair. Activities will include:
