Allergy Awareness Week

It is currently allergy awareness week 16-22 May 2010 and this year's theme is Allergies -no walk in the park

Allergy New Zealand, organisers of the event, are primarily focusing on promoting awareness in the wider community this year. Allergy New Zealand broadly cover all allergies, however food allergies such as wheat allergy and coeliac disease are a major component of this and it's fantastic to have organisations such as this championing awareness for us.

You can find out more about the events on the Allergy NZ website. A particularly interesting initiative is the launch of a new allergy research fund. They are currently seeking donations towards this both in monetary and salable goods forms.

I also urge those of you in Auckland to attend the Gluten Free Food & Allergy Show 2010 on the 29th and 30th of May. Note:I will only be emailing a reminder about this to those site members who have set their city as Auckland, as I have already recently mentioned this event in an all member email.
