On May 28, 2026, of National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month<\/a>, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) and our division\u00a0Kids with Food Allergies (KFA)<\/a>\u00a0are holding a Remembrance Day in honor of family members and loved ones who\u2019ve passed from asthma or anaphylaxis. We also take time to remember other people who have needlessly been lost to preventable deaths.<\/p>\n

On average, 9 people in the U.S. die from\u00a0asthma<\/a>\u00a0each day. A few hundred die each year because of\u00a0serious allergic reactions, called anaphylaxis<\/a>\u00a0[anna-fih-LACK-sis]. Most of these deaths were preventable. We believe one life lost to asthma or anaphylaxis is one too many.<\/p>\n

On this day, we reflect on our mission to save lives and reduce the burden of these diseases on individuals, families, and caregivers.<\/p>\n

We dedicate May 28 as a time to celebrate and honor lives lost and to continue to make a difference in memory of the people who live in our hearts forever.<\/p>\n
