Rona Chiera is nuts about our community. A positive advocate for allergy awareness

What is it that is driving me to be the advocate for allergy awareness in our community you may ask?
Having been blessed with identical looking twins, Isabella and Sophia, I noticed when sending them into the school environment you had a 50/50 chance of knowing which twin had the nut allergy. Their class teacher and their friends knew which one was which, which equates to around 30 people in a school that educates close to 1000 students is 3% who know which twin is highly allergic.
My husband is a custom sheet metal manufacturer, running his own business and his customers are international, national and local food manufacturers. He outfits and custom manufactures their equipment and commercial kitchens and now enjoys the confidence of building allergy aware equipment without really thinking about it anymore. He has seen Isabella become almost lifeless after reacting to a trace of peanut. He can see firsthand the effort food manufacturers place on their own businesses to ensure cross contamination is minimised.
I am, Rona Chiera, Isabella and Sophia’s Mum, who is also the main person who goes to the grocery store to purchase food for our household. I became that loyal to the big brands of foods whilst being an allergy aware Mum. With this, I am very loyal to my local brands and together I enjoy an excellent mix of fresh foods that my family loves to eat.
Just by pure accident and the turn of events that have happened in my family I have naturally become a positive advocate for allergy awareness in our community.
