Shelly LeGere, who founded the Annie LeGere Foundation shortly after her daughter’s death with a goal of educating the public about food allergies, lobbying for legislation and raising money to help pay for epinephrine auto-injectors wherever they might be needed, said she and foundation supporters grew frustrated as the political process ran its course. Annie’s friends continued organizing annual events in honor of the girl. Her mother, meanwhile, developed a website, consulted with parents in other states looking to inspire similar legislation, and spoke at schools about food-allergy awareness. Today, the foundation has raised nearly $170,000 available for its mission, LeGere said.
