Anaphylaxis Campaign 20 years celebration

13/10/2014 by Ruth Holroyd 2 Comments

The Anaphylaxis Campaign has now been going for 20 years and have achieved so much in that time.
Anaphylaxis Campaign Logo
I remember reading about the charity in the Telegraph, some months after my first serious anaphylactic reaction and feeling complete panic hearing about David Reading’s daughter, who sadly passed away after an anaphylactic reaction to nuts.

I joined the society to find out more about what was happening to me and have found it such a useful resource over the years. They have a free help line and loads of events and information sheets on the website. I am proud to now be in a position to help the campaign in any way I can, whether that is speaking to journalists, organising support groups, fund raising, speaking to newly diagnosed adults or parents and speaking at and attending events.

To see what happened at the celebration party watch this short video. I’m there at the beginning and you have to watch right to the end to catch me again. Twice in one video!

Look out for Dr Bill Frankland, 102 year old allergy doctor. Amazing man.

      Yes it’s a nice little video of the evening, though how I got in there twice I don’t know. There was a little snip of H too. Can’t wait to see the extended video with Dr Matt Doyle and the teenagers and also the big hard hitting one they raised the money to make. Can’t wait to see that. Love a good video.

Hello, I’m Ruth, author and blogger

Ruth

 

Hi I'm Ruth. I've grown up with eczema and multiple life-threatening allergies and collected more as I've got older.  It started with a peanut allergy and now I'm allergic to milk, wheat, soya and many more. In this blog I share tips, advice and things I've learnt living with allergies, asthma and eczema with a focus on topical steroid withdrawal. You can buy my books, which are brilliant by the way! The first is Anaphylaxis: The essential guide and the second, The Shape of Skin, healing poems for eczema and sensitive skin. The reviews speak for themselves. If you want to chat you can find me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn (links below). Do get in touch. And please comment on blogs, it makes a humble blogger do a little happy dance!
