Local Teen Reports on Trip to U.S. Capitol for Allergy Fly-In
By MONICA CALZOLARIONEONTA
Devin Sailer, age 16, recalls going to the emergency room once a month as a child. He has 31 allergies, any one of which can be fatal.
Sailer was one of more than 170 advocates making their voices heard at FARE’s Courage at Congress 2024: Advocate for a Cure legislative fly-in, March 4-6.
FARE stands for Food Allergy Research & Education. It is the leading non-profit in the U.S. engaged in food allergy advocacy and the largest private funder of food allergy research.
Sailer is an active member of this organization. FARE has organized this event annually for the past five years. The 2024 fly-in was the largest one to date.
