Peanut-Free/Nut-Free Directory
Our directory is intended as a resource for people with peanut and nut allergies. It contains foods, helpful products, and much more.
Here is part of the e mail we received as a follow up to a phone conversation I (Chris@PeanutAllergy.Com) had yesterday with a (television) media news organization putting together a story. I hope you will take the time to contact them if you can be of any assistance.
Please send me a copy of any e mails or information which you send to them as the information may be useful on other projects in the future. Also if you have any telephone conversations with them please send us a summary or give us a call so we can discuss the subject also.
Thanks
(Hopefully this story will help with awareness and many other issues!)
I want to thank those of you who have already pledged or sent your financial support so we can continue to work full time on peanut allergy. Your support allows us to be able to work on many things including being able to do interviews for media stories etc.
I encourage those of you who have not yet made the effort to support our community resource (PeanutAllergy.Com) to do so. Together we can accomplish a lot!
Here is part of the e mail we received which we will also be sending out to the e mail list. If you are not yet on the list please sign up and let us know you are out there.
