Sara Shannon's life has changed in many ways over the past five years, but not a day goes by that she doesn't miss her daughter or wonder what might have been. Keeping her promise to her daughter is what keeps her going. She worked tirelessly for legislation to protect students at risk for anaphylaxis.
"Sabrina's Law" is a law which protects allergic students in Ontario, Canada. This law set a precedent and has become a model for similar laws internationally.
Part of the documentary features Sabrina in her own voice in a radio interview, explaining the dangers of food allergies and what she needed to do to protect herself. There is no denying that she understood, and yet without knowledgeable adults around her, it wasn't enough.
Looking back over Sabrina's life, it is amazing to see how her radio documentary, her drawings, and her life seem to have been preparing us to hear and learn from her heartbreaking story. Now all we need to do is listen.
