11-year-old Allergic Emma, a proud ambassador for Red Sneakers for Oakley and the Elijah-Alivi Foundation, is on a quest to raise awareness of the life-threatening dangers of food allergies and inspire those with food allergies to live life to the fullest.
Having experienced five anaphylactic reactions since 18-months of age, it would be easy for Emma to isolate herself from the world and live in a "bubble". Instead, she’s empowered to thrive and enjoy the things other children her age do – like participate in class parties, play sports, visit with friends, and even travel. Make no mistake – it isn't always easy. In fact, living with food allergies is tough. But as Emma says...she’s tougher!
