Anaphylaxis UK : Looking for Mary
Back in 2015, John Schwab featured in our short film Looking for Mary giving a moving account of the day John and his wife Tamsin almost lost their three year old son, Jack, to an anaphylactic reaction from a cashew nut while on a family holiday.
19 years on from that traumatic day, their story is still a powerful watch and is a story that will resonate with many parents of children with allergies. As we mark our 30th anniversary, we thought it'd be a great time to re-share this video on our Anaphylaxis UK RUclips channel.
