AAAAI - Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Education and Research Trust (ART)

"I returned home with a new treatment plan and new perspective on life. I was determined to "pay it forward" by giving back to the community that has whole-heartedly supported me. Based on what I learned, I decided to start an educational support program to teach and empower elementary school children to take control of their asthma. To date I have taught nearly 300 asthmatic children from around the country. My program is important to me because it reinforces the education I learned. It helps other asthmatics and the children in my program have become a support system for me."

- Jennifer, 18 years old
