Do you know a Canadian student (under age 25) who will be attending a post-secondary education institution in September and has worked to raise allergy awareness? Anaphylaxis Canada is now accepting applications for the 2014 Sabrina Shannon Memorial Award!
From WhyRiskIt.ca:
We will be granting two awards of $1,000 each to students entering their first year or continuing their studies at a post-secondary institution.
This award recognizes the important role that youth play in raising awareness and educating others about life-threatening allergies. It is dedicated to the life of Sabrina Shannon, an inspiring teenager who suffered a fatal anaphylactic reaction in 2003. Since her passing, Sabrina’s parents and other members of the allergy community have kept Sabrina’s spirit alive by advocating for safer schools and communities across Canada.
This award has been funded through the generous support of TD Securities.
