I first met Kyle in my role as President of Food Allergy Education Network.  We had hired him to be the entertainment for our Dance-a-thon fundraiser.  I had heard some of his songs, but had never seen him in action.

That May, he put on a show that had all the children singing and cheering that “Food Allergies Rock!”  He also sang about important messages like carrying and using epinephrine when needed.  He did it all in a fun, engaging and age appropriate manner using humor, puppets and songs.  I was hooked.  I became a Kyle Dine Fan immediately.

Making a diagnosis, that is challenging at best and downright scary at its worst, into something fun and a point of pride is a spectacular feat!  That is why I was very excited when Kyle contacted me to tell me about his idea and to ask me to be an advisor for his new project.  He would like to spread his positive message and educational tools to a broader audience by creating a video.

In order to achieve this goal, he has launched a KickStarter Campaign to raise funds to create this video.  If you believe in using the power of fun and music to help educate children, I hope you will consider donating to this campaign.

(For the record: I was not asked to write about this campaign. I am offering my expertise on this project as a volunteer, not a paid consultant.  I believe strongly in importance of creating fun educational tools for children. )
