Another Young Life Taken Away By Food Allergy. Nathan Francis Rest In Peace.


The other night I was washing the dishes when my attention was drawn to the television. I felt so sick to the stomach and very emotional when I heard the following story.

In March 2007, Nathan Francis 13 years old, a student from Scotch College was attending school camp. His parents had informed the school of his allergy to peanuts and also made it clear that he was not to consume any other nuts. He was given a meal that contained peanuts and claimed his life.

This story is so sad as the school could have easily avoided it. Below are links relating to this story.




My deepest and most sincere condolences to the Francis family.  You are living my worst nightmare, may your family be surrounded with love, strength and support.
