Saurav Tewari
Saurav is a high school student at the Harker School in San Jose, CA. He suffered an anaphylactic reaction when he was just 2 years old and was diagnosed with multiple food allergies. Growing up he had to eat a very restrictive diet. He did not have the luxury of eating out at places where children normally eat. With the support of his parents he has outgrown some of his allergies.
Having faced many hardships growing up he really wants to make a difference in the lives of children with food allergies so that they are able to do everything that normal children do. He is leading this movement with the help of our medical experts by increasing awareness in the community.
