Gary’s Marathon Story
Our journey as allergy parents began when our son Harris was just a few months old and diagnosed with a cow’s milk protein allergy. At weaning age, Harris had multiple reactions to different foods and was then diagnosed with a further 5 allergies.
My wife Emma and I had done our best to protect Harris from his allergies without any help or support. I researched Natasha’s story and read about the incredible things Natasha’s Foundation does for people with allergies. I really wanted to support the charity’s mission by raising awareness and help make day to day life safer for all people living with allergies.
I feel extremely proud to have represented this charity in the London Marathon and I’m so thankful for the amazing work that they do.”
Thanks to generous match funding from his employer, Gary has now raised over £2,000 to #MakeAllergyHistory.
