Mia Hamm Leads Soccer Clinic in Rhode Island to Raise Food Allergy Awareness
Mia Hamm, along with fellow World Cup and Olympic champions Kristine Lilly and Tisha Venturini, conducted a soccer clinic in Middletown, Rhode Island, to promote awareness about food allergies. The event was organized in partnership with 'Red Sneakers for Oakley,' a non-profit founded by Robert and Merrill Debbs after their son Oakley died from a nut allergy. The clinic aimed to educate participants on the importance of food allergy safety and the use of epinephrine in emergencies. The initiative also launched the 'Epi Everywhere: Newport Initiative,' which focuses on placing emergency epinephrine in public spaces and training first responders.
