With school on the horizon, FARE sponsors walk to raise awareness about food allergies

A walk to raise awareness about food allergies will be held on Sept. 9.

“With the beginning of the school year approaching, it is a good time to raise awareness as it is difficult to send your child to school wondering if they are going to be safe when they have life-threatening food allergies,” said Cheryl Fruiterman, chairwoman for the FARE Walk for Food Allergy in Albany.
