The Mother of All Food Allergies

For decades Denise, the mother of all food allergies, has had a tremendous impact on the food-allergy community. As co-founder of MOCHA, a support group for food-allergy families, serving on the Boards of both FARE and Lurie Children’s Hospital, and through her strong advocacy for food allergy research, management, and education, Denise has made it her mission to improve the lives of kids with food allergies.

While best known for her leadership, perhaps her largest impact has been felt in the countless, one-on-one conversations she has engaged in with scared, frustrated, and desperate parents, including Spokin founder, Susie Hultquist.
