Lauren's Bio:

Hi! My name is Lauren and I am 16 years old. I started this FARE Teen Advisory Board project 2 years ago, and am so happy with the success it has had! I am allergic to dairy, egg, and kiwi. I have lived with food allergies my whole life, and I have experienced first-hand the struggles of not feeling normal or feeling excluded because of food allergies. My hope is that our project helps just a little bit to give the food allergic community a sense of belonging.
