Mia The Superstar!

Oh, the connections made through CrossFit! A friend of mine works at the local news station and approached us about doing a story on Mia and her conditions. They filmed in October and it aired in November. We did it because we wanted to raise awareness about allergies and Eosinophilic diseases, and I think it worked. We also wanted to give other families dealing with these conditions some hope, and that was successful as well. I got several emails from families that have been dealing with the ordeal that is diagnosing Eos, some have been fighting for it for years and their kids are still sick. It gave them hope to see how awful Mia looked and felt yet how healthy she looks now. Here is a link to the video:
