Remembering Allison Rose & Saving Lives in Her Honor
Manage episode 482671239 series 3579306
In this special Food Allergy Awareness Week episode, we sit down with Chief Mike and Becca Suhy, the founders of the Allison Rose Foundation. Their vibrant, fun-loving, caring, and slightly mischievous daughter Allison's life was tragically cut short by anaphylaxis during her first semester at college. Through their heartbreak, the Suhys have created the foundation as a way to continue caring for Allison—working tirelessly to ensure no other family experiences the same unimaginable loss.
The Allison Rose Foundation is dedicated to preventing food allergy deaths through education, advocacy, and access to epinephrine. You’ll hear about the incredible impact they’re making, including:
- Creating life-saving food allergy and anaphylaxis curriculum for students of all ages
- Partnering with first responders to provide epinephrine training in schools, restaurants, and communities
- Supplying stock epinephrine free of charge to schools and organizations ready to take action
Their story is one of grief transformed into service—a call to all of us to learn, act, and help build a world where children with food allergies are safer, more supported, and never forgotten.
Tune in to honor Allison’s legacy and be inspired to take action, because Food Allergy Awareness isn't just about celebration and education, it's about saving lives.
