Win a $15 iTunes Gift Card: FOOD ALLERGY AWARENESS WEEK Contest

UPDATE (5/19/13): Congratulations to Z. Noras who won the FOOD ALLERGY AWARENESS WEEK Contest & has been emailed a $15 iTunes gift card code.

As readers of this Geeky Dad's blog know, I'm the father of a little girl with a severe peanut allergy.  In addition to writing about adventurous road trips, comic books, things I do with my kids, toys and parenting tips, I also try to use this blog as an educational outlet on the topic of food allergies (specifically peanut allergies).  Here are a few of my past posts about our families struggles with our daughter's food allergy:
