Families Fighting Flu

In this section, you will be touched by the emotional and courageous stories of families whose lives have been permanently altered by childhood flu. A diverse range of families from across the U.S. have been brought together by the tragic loss of a child from the flu or by a child who has experienced medical complications from the virus — families who have banded together to heal.

In the summer of 2005, Families Fighting Flu incorporated as a non-profit organization. Since its inception, the organization has grown to include additional families affected by childhood influenza, as well as concerned healthcare practitioners. With the official launch, the organization now provides an avenue of support and action for those whose lives have been permanently altered by childhood influenza.
