Lisa Rutter, Founder of NNMG Food Allergic Families
Lisa is the Founder of NNMG Food Allergic Families, (originally No Nuts Moms Group). When Lisa’s son was diagnosed with life-threatening food allergies to peanuts and tree nuts, she learned as much as she could to educate herself and everyone around her about food allergies. Her search for a food allergy group ended in a dead end, so she started her own group for food-allergic families looking to meet and connect with others. The word about No Nuts Moms Group quickly spread, and requests for local groups in the United States and Canada came rolling in. Lisa gave other moms a chance to start their own local groups, and now No Nuts Moms Group is internationally known for supporting and connecting people with food allergies. Lisa was also instrumental in getting the Stock Epinephrine Bill passed into law in Michigan. Lisa has helped thousands of families across the country.
