After Son’s Health Scare, Patrick Mahomes Announces Noble Initiative That Is Close to Wife Brittany’s Heart.
Parenting is often full of surprises. But for Patrick and Brittany Mahomes, one particular incident turned their world upside down.
And they knew it was time to step up and raise awareness in a big way.
Patrick Mahomes in October 2024 announced “15 and FARE.”
The new initiative is under his 15 and the Mahomies Foundation.
His foundation is teaming up with FARE (Food Allergy Research & Education).
and the program aims to educate Kansas City restaurants about food allergies and improve dining safety.
Mahomes shared his excitement in a heartfelt video posted on Instagram.
“Food allergic reactions can happen anytime, anywhere,” he said, reflecting on the sheer unpredictability of such occurrences.
“We’ve teamed up with FARE to bring ‘FARE Food Allergy Academy’ to Kansas City restaurants.
I am proud that we came up with FARE and our new program with the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation,” he added.
To further raise awareness and attract a wide audience, Patrick dedicated this year’s “My Cause, My Cleats” campaign to the initiative.
The proceeds from the auction of his game-worn cleats on nflauction.nfl.com would fund allergy education and resources.
This bold step demonstrates how personal struggles could inspire broader advocacy.
In August 2023, Bronze, then an 8-month-old son, had a severe allergic reaction to peanuts.
The scare sent the family rushing to the ER.
The incident left them shaken but determined to turn their experience into something impactful.
And now they’re using their platform to champion food allergy awareness.
Brittany Mahomes empowers parents and kids.
Brittany Mahomes has been vocal about the challenges of raising children with severe food allergies.
Both Bronze and their 3-year-old daughter Sterling have allergies that require constant vigilance.
Brittany on October 29 this year shared her experience in an Instagram video, recalling the terrifying day in August 2023.
While trying to introduce peanuts into Bronze’s diet, a common practice recommended by doctors, Brittany noticed him becoming fussy.
followed by a severe rash that led to an emergency room visit.
She recalled Bronze’s reaction vividly.
“Seeing his entire body covered in welts and hives and him being so uncomfortable was probably one of the scariest moments of my life.”
Despite the initial panic, Brittany and Patrick feel more empowered now.
They’re learning how to navigate their children’s allergies, from hyper-vigilant meal planning to teaching their kids how to speak up when something is unsafe.
“It’s definitely a little anxiety and nerve-racking, but as a parent, your job is to teach your kids how to live as they go on,” Brittany explained.
She emphasized normalizing these conditions.
Brittany believes that by educating their kids and those around them.
they can create a safer world for families affected by food allergies.
Brittany also credits early education and tools like AUVI-Q auto-injectors for giving her the confidence to manage their kids’ safety.
And the Mahomes family’s advocacy goes beyond their children.
Through initiatives like “15 and FARE,” they aim to create inclusive, allergy-friendly communities.
By working with restaurants, educating families, and funding essential resources, they’re making dining safer for everyone.
As the Mahomes family continues their Christmas celebrations, their dedication to this cause exemplifies how personal experiences can drive meaningful change.
With their platform, the Mahomes family is championing awareness, empowering families.
