Many of you are aware that Auggie has a food allergy, particularly with peanuts/nuts. To those of you that are not – Auggie and his family are very passionate about providing public awareness to nut allergies. As a result, BMWSequel.com wants to assist in educating you with their cause. Many Americans and other nationalities suffer from food allergies – and while flareups can be prevented if provided with the correct diet, reactions can sometimes be inevitable and it can be troublesome for a vast amount of people. There is a petition out there that, if obtained an appropriate amount of signatures, would require airlines to have a “bill of rights” related to food allergies in children and adults. There were two separate (publicly known) instances when children were escorted from an airplane as a result of the airline(s) not accommodating to their food allergies… This petition would eliminate this behavior to our public. If possible, we would appreciate if you could take a few moments and read the story as well as sign the petition:
