Gennie's #ThatKid Story: On Being Yourself


Meet Gennie, a crafter, artist, and doll-clothes designer extraordinaire. Having food allergies and asthma can be challenging at times, but Gennie wants people to know that she’s just like any other kid.

We are all #ThatKid.

To amplify the voices of people whose daily lives are affected by allergies and invisible disease, we created the #ThatKid initiative. Our hope is to bring awareness to these important conditions through powerful, real-life stories, shared by people just like you.

The goals of the #ThatKid campaign are to promote understanding, empower patients through education, and help build a support network for people with allergic disease.  That said, the campaign is not just for people with allergies. #ThatKid is about starting out with a diagnosis or a label but growing beyond that label so that a condition does not define you.
