I receive a magazine from Kraft Canada every other month or so that's full of recipe ideas, best part is it's "free"!
I was so pleased to see a great ad in the latest issue (I received mine last week) from Anaphylaxis Canada.
The ad went like this:
81/2 x 11" full colour page, "The Olympica are tough. but I face my biggest challenge every day" large size photograph of LaDonna Antoine-Watkins: Canadian Champion 400 meter sprinter.
"I nearly missed competing in the Sydney Olympics because of a life-threatening allergic reaction to peanut. Luckily, my teammates knew what to do. With their support and help, I was able to run my race.
(in BOLD)
Chances are you know someone who lives with anaphylaxis.
Whether you are a coach, teacher, camp director, neighbour, parent or friend visit [url="http://www.GOSAFE.ca"]www.GOSAFE.ca[/url] to see how you can make your community safer for people living with aanaphylaxis.
I have to say I was so happy to see this that I got teary eyed. It felt so good to show my PA child a role model who also happened to have a peanut allergy!
I emailed Anaphylaxis Canada to thank them. It was really well done.
Take care,

Katiee,
That's fabulous! (Of course I don't mean it's fabulous that she has food allergies, just that she is speaking out about them. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/redface.gif[/img] )
Maybe you should send this to FAAN; they have been looking for celebrity spokespeople for some time. The fact that it is a "strong" athletic type is a bonus.
Thanks for the heads up.
