You had me at food allergy
For so long I stood alone,
in the dirt of the battlefield,
With the dust all around.
I didn’t know I was lonely,
Until I met you.
I thought I was strange, different, weird,
Until I met you.
I looked around, never seeing myself,
Until I met you.
I was strong in my fight, strong on my own,
Until I met you.
I believed this was my future,
never knowing a true community,
Until I met you.
I stand where I always stood,
I push like I always have.
Only now I look around me, and I see you.
For so long I stood alone,
in the dirt of the battlefield,
then the dust cleared,
And I met you.
You had me at Food Allergy.

There are too many words to say how this community makes me feel. Most of you I have never even met, but knowing that you are there, is what drives me to keep fighting. It’s not easy, it’s a battle, but I have an army now, all over the world, with the same mission, the same goal- and that energy is going to change our world.
I can’t thank you enough, for your support, your passion, your resilience and your patience. When we do the work, the results will come!
