Danielle's Self-Portrait

Age: 17
Allergic to: milk
Favorite musicians/bands: Trace Adkins, Switchfoot, Yellow Card
Loves: field hockey

The most important thing she's learned about managing her food allergy:
I don’t let having a food allergy stop me from doing what I want to do. Last summer I wanted to travel to France, which is well known for its cheese. My mother was afraid of letting me go, but there was no way I would let my milk allergy be a block. Instead of letting the allergy prevent me from going, my family and I came up with a plan of what to eat, and what to do if something were to happen abroad.
