Food allergy research fund launched

• Great start with a $10,000 kick-off donation from Peter and Janice Leitch.
• Fund raising through TradeMe Auctions

We need your help!

Very little is known about food allergy in New Zealand and research is needed so we can do more to help improve the lives of allergy sufferers.

Research can help us advocate for improvements in health services and funding for vital medicines such as an adrenaline auto-injector for treating anaphylaxis

To meet this need we have set up a Food Allergy Research Fund.The fund will enable us to assist and, if necessary, commission research projects geared towards improving the daily lives of individuals and families. We are very grateful for the enormous generosity shown by our irrepressible ambassador Peter Leitch and his wife Janice, who have donated $10,000 to kick off the fund.

As a first step to build the fund we're running an ongoing series of TradeMe Auctions starting at the end of this month. We need your help to source items for sale, to encourage relatives and friends to join in, and to bid for items!
