Flowery Branch boys lemonade stand to raise funds for food allergy research
0831lemonade1
Connor Martin prepares for his annual lemonade stand Tuesday afternoon where he raises money for Food Allergy Research and Education. The youngster has life-threatening tree nut allergies and hopes to raise more than the $640 raised from last year's sale.
Connor Martin has to be careful. The 11-year-old is allergic to mold, cockroaches, dust mites, pineapple, avocado and tree nuts, which includes everything from cashews, pistachios and walnuts to even coconut. But Connor wants to raise awareness about the dangers of food allergies and help fundraise for treatment and a cure.
