Fifteen million people in the United States have a food allergy. On average you will find two students per classroom that have food allergies. This week, our topic is food allergy awareness to commemorate food allergy awareness month. Our guest host, Calli Brielle McIntyre, is Miss Moore County’s Outstanding Teen, and a food allergy sufferer herself. Her panel includes 10 year old Xander Flowe, a homeschooled student with 8 food allergies, Tiffany Kramer, a first grade teacher at Vass-Lakeview Elementary and a mother of a child with a food allergy, and Hershal Smith, pharmacist and co-owner of The Village Apothecary. Xander is one of the most articulate and courageous young men you will ever listen to. His stories and recollections paint the most vivid word pictures about the devasting adjustments people afflicted with food allegies have to make. Together, they have an informative conversation on how people can better educate themselves on this growing occurrence. For more information on food allergies, please visit www.foodallergy.org and www.crowningpurpose.org.

Posted on by

Fore Properties is proud to host this show for Mother’s Day.

Our 6 featured brokers, all of whom are mothers, with no less than 17 children, from ages 4 to 14, discuss the challenges of balancing a career with family, and in many cases with a deployed father/husband.

Real estate brokers, Stephanie Lemke, Christian McCarthy, Nicholl Lee, Tracy Gibson, Jen DiMayo and Bree Sheridan have a spirited, funny and heartfelt conversation with guest moderator, John Tampa, whose questions yield great conversations.

 

In addition to being real estate brokers, these 6 women share great hearts and passion for what they do in their everyday lives. As moms, as brokers, as daughters, they wear their hearts on their sleeves and listening to their mutual support for one another clearly extends beyond the studio table.
