The Top 10 Challenge is an opportunity to live "a day on the plate of" someone you know or love with food allergies. The goal of the challenge is to (1) raise awareness & empath, and (2) raise much needed funds for food allergy research.
​
The Challenge will take place the last 10 days of April leading up to Food Allergy Awareness month in May. There are many ways you can participate in the Challenge. Browse the list below for some ideas, or come up with your own food allergy meal plan.​
