With One Voice, We Can Create Better Awareness

Against the inspiring backdrop of the California hills, Joshua Jackson—actor, food allergy patient and advocate, and FARE volunteer ambassador—reminds us that there have been advancements in the treatment of food allergies. Because in the FARE community, the disease doesn’t own us, we own our journey. Together, we can speak up, stay strong, and take control of our health.

Empower Yourself

Focus is power, and preparation is freedom. Just as a dancer has daily warm-ups and exercises to maintain their readiness and sure footing, people living with food allergy know the daily steps they need to take to feel secure.

When you educate yourself, you don’t live in fear—you live in motion. More than 33 million people in the U.S. live with food allergy, which can cause life-threatening reactions. There have been advancements in the treatment of food allergies, so speak with your allergist about the many ways to manage your food allergies. Talking with an allergist opens up options for those with food allergy and their families.

Knowledge doesn’t just happen. You build it. 

FARE’s public service announcement, “RISE,” features performer, coach, and food allergy advocate Andy Hartman; dancer and actor Hugo Miller, also a person with food allergies; as well as dance partners Sophia Oddi and Anne Kim. Choreographed by the acclaimed Laura Gorenstein Miller, “RISE” evokes the challenges and triumphs of the food allergy community.
