Our 6 year old son Arthur has multiple food allergies and has had many reactions including several requiring an Epipen or hospital admission. I'm undertaking this super-long run in the hope of:

• raising vital funds for The Anaphylaxis Campaign
• sharing the daily challenges of living with food allergy
• busting some allergy myths
• helping to create a safer world for people with food allergies.

You can feel pretty helpless being the parent of a child for whom food can be deadly - I guess this is my attempt to make a difference. 

The Anaphylaxis Campaign is the only UK wide charity solely focused on supporting people at risk of severe allergic reactions.Anaphylaxis (pronounced ana-fill-ax-is) is a severe and life-threatening allergic reaction that can be fatal. Severe symptoms such as a swollen tongue, difficulty breathing or becoming unconscious usually develop suddenly, often within minutes after being exposed to an allergy trigger such as a particular food, latex, insect stings or certain drugs.
