    KeepSmilin4Abbie was started by the parents of a teenager who died of an anaphylaxis attack because of a food allergy. Abbie’s parents developed innovations in their quest to ensure this doesn’t happen to anyone else, and they want YOU to help them come up with more ideas to address these challenges!
