Hi, I am Anthony Cross. I am turning 11 this year on October 19th. I have many food allergies and asthma. For some of my allergies, I have received treatment in a clinical trial, so I don’t have them any longer. But some I still have and live with every day. For my birthday, I want to donate to people like me with food allergies and asthma. Since I am turning 11, I have set my goal at $11,000 this year. I hope to give kids that have food allergies and asthma good treatment, medicine, and education. I thank all of you that have supported me in the past couple of years.
Please support me this year as many people still need help with their food allergies and asthma. Your donation goes directly to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. I have had education and treatment that helps me to play sports without wheezing and to now eat wheat and egg without reacting. I want other kids like me to have this as well. Thank you for your donation!
P.S. For those that do not know my story, I was diagnosed with 5 severe food allergies before I was one year of age. I have had anaphylaxis and asthma attacks that have put me in the emergency room. I have also been in a clinical trial to advance science and my body. I take daily medication and have my emergency medication with me always. I want to give hope to others like me.
