The FAAN Walk and Kyle Dine Event on August 22, 2009 were a lot of fun. The Walk raised much needed funds for Research and Education. The Kyle Dine concert was enjoyed by all in attendance. Kyle Dine's Tween/Teen event was very empowering for our youth.
Please let us know if you can get involved with the 2010 FAAN Walk in Seattle.

WA-FEAST was VERY excited to sponsor Kyle Dine in Concert at the Seattle FAAN Walk!
Do you know a young food allergic person who would enjoy meeting other food allergic teens and tweens from Washington State? Join us after the FAAN Walk and concert for an engaging conversation with food allergy advocate Kyle Dine.
"Kyle Dine is a Canadian musician who is a bright star in the flourishing "allergy music" genre. His CD - You Must Be Nuts! contains 14 tracks that are meant to educate and empower those dealing with food allergies. His live shows raise school wide allergy awareness through his fun, interactive and zany puppet filled performances! "
