Walk For Andrea
Join us to raise funds for Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Research and help create a world where everyone can walk freely and confidently. Every step you take makes a difference in the lives of those affected by food allergies and anaphylaxis.
Step by Step for a Cause
Walk for Andrea was established in memory of Andrea Mariano, who tragically passed away from an anaphylactic reaction during her first weeks at Queen’s University in 2015. Our goal is to raise funds for food allergy research and support the search for a cure through our partnership with SickKids.

Why SickKids?
Since the launch of the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Program in 2013, we’ve taken a two-pronged approach to fighting food allergy. The first is basic science, a means to better understanding the biology of food allergy. (In one study, our scientists use allergenized gut slices to better understand the mechanics of food allergy, as well as test potential treatments—without putting a child at risk.) The second is clinical trials, where we test treatments like oral immunotherapy, including variations that make it easier—and safer—to implement.
