Now this is sweet brotherly love in its finest of hours: big bro Aaron is raising funds to help find a cure for his food allergic little brother. Aaron created a music CD of original compositions and is gifting it to folks who donate to him for the Contact@aaronpetersonmusic.com, which will be held this October 6th, 2012. This amazing 16-year-old boy created this touching video in honor of his brother Spencer. This is truly my favorite awww moment of the year!

Here is Aarons’ message to us…
“My name is Aaron Peterson and I’m 16 years old. I enjoy playing the piano and like to compose my own songs. My brother Spencer is the Honorary Youth Chair for the FAAN Walk for Food Allergy in Las Vegas, Nevada. I’m offering my music CD, Finding Hope, to you in lieu of a donation to FAAN on behalf of my brother Spencer. Please visit my website aaronpetersonmusic.com which includes my contact info, my video, hear my music, and also the link to contribute to Spencer’s FAAN webpage. Please email me your address so I can mail you a CD. Thanks for your support and I hope you enjoy my music.”
Okay, even though Gratefulfoodie has a Virtual Las Vegas walk team and I wanted the world to donate to me, I am humbled by this sweet, talented young man and need the world to donate to his team! Hey, you’ll receive an original music CD and when Aaron is on the cover of magazines you can say that you supported him way back in the day and you knew all along that he would become famous.

He also will need your contact information so he can send you his CD, please email him at Contact@aaronpetersonmusic.com
One of the hardest things I find about managing both life threatening food allergies and asthma is talking to others. I hate to be the one that might be perceived as demanding, pushing or for asking too much. What I now know, fourteen years later, is that honest, clear information presented with kindness works!..
