Sabrina Shannon knew she had a potentially deadly allergy to peanuts, dairy and soy products. She knew trace amounts could kill her, and this made her wary of new foods, even if they appeared safe for her to eat. She often said, "It's not worth the risk."That has made it difficult for her family to understand why Sabrina, 13, collapsed and died after eating French fries -- a meal she had eaten safely before -- at school in Pembroke, OntarioNo one knows what triggered Sabrina's fatal anaphylactic reaction on September 29, 2003. A coroner's investigation is under way.Many people will miss Sabrina's presence in Toronto this summer.She attended drama school, the Lorraine Kimsa Theatre for Young People, for a few weeks during the past two summers.For Sabrina, attending theatre school was something she anticipated; it was a place where she felt safe enough to show her creative edge to others her age. The theatre school is launching a project in her memory.The Sabrina Anne Shannon Fund is a bursary program being established by the school so children from lower-income families can enjoy the school as Sabrina did.Depending on the amount raised, several children will receive financial support so they can enroll in the drama school.Peter Gallagher, the school's director, said the fund is appropriate because Sabrina would have wanted it.He said she always watched out for the underdog and would have wanted as many people as possible to attend the school.Mr. Gallagher added that the fund will be a lasting tribute to Sabrina's passionate and creative spirit. Those who knew her said Sabrina's outgoing personality made her a perfect match for the stage.Sabrina put her creative talents to use for most of her life; she painted for the first time at nine months old.When she was 10, Sabrina, with the help of her aunt, created a radio documentary, A Nutty Tale, which explained some of the challenges of living with severe allergies.It was played on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation radio's Outfront and was rebroadcast twice, after it was named one of the year's most popular programs and after Sabrina's death.Sabrina's Law, 2005 is named after Sabrina Shannon. Under the new law, school boards will be required to have policies to deal with students at risk of anaphylaxis, defined as "a severe systemic allergic reaction which can be fatal, resulting in circulatory collapse or shock". The policies must be in place by January 1, 2006.
