Fundraising Lola Is At It Again!

Regular readers o f our magazine may recall young fundraiser Lola who amazed us all last Januar y as she ran 31 miles to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital In to tal, raising a whopping £3000!

This year Lola is at it again! This time raising funds for the Natasha Allergy Foundation by completing a triathlon (swimming 100m, cycling 5,000m and running 2,000m!) When Lola was three she su ffered an anaphylactic shock whilst at home after eating some mixed nu ts Later it was conf irmed Lola's allergy was in fact Brazil nu ts

Luckily there are ver y few food items that Brazil nu ts are found in, and the nu t itself is ver y identif iable. Ho wever no t all allergies are as easy to deal with

A prime example is Lola's best f riend Henr y Henr y has a severe Dair y and egg allergy An allergy which lacks awareness Children running around parks with ice -cream and chocolaty f ingers are things a lo t o f parents wouldn't think twice abou t These are all things that cause Henr y and his family a lo t o f anxiety By taking on this challenge, Lola is hoping to raise awareness o f the battle many people have ever y day when eating ou t And hopefully make more people aware o f the chances o f su ffering anaphylaxis in the most innocuous o f occasions
