WestJet has had epi-pens for a while.
But that link....it's for a contest.
QuotePfizer Canada and WestJet Make Travel Easier for Canadians with Severe Food Allergies
'Reach for the Sky' contest aims to increase awareness on a growing public health issue in Canada
KIRKLAND, QC, Sept. 29, 2014 /CNW/ - Serious allergies are on the rise and to raise awareness of anaphylaxis, Pfizer Canada, Canadian distributor of EpiPen® (epinephrine) Auto-Injectors, and WestJet are launching a social media contest called Reach for the Sky, offering Canadians with severe food allergies, or those at risk of anaphylaxis, the chance to win a WestJet Vacations package for four.
Yep, WestJet has had EpiPens and EpiPen Jr's onboard all their planes for several years. Best airline I've ever flown with, and their allergy policies are top notch: the flight attendants ask where I store my Epi's on each and every flight. We :heart: WestJet! They get my business (almost) every trip we take. (Sometimes they don't fly to where we are going to.)
Will be entering the contest shortly. :)
My photo made it into the top 20 finalists for this contest! I would love your support and (daily) votes. :) This photo was taken three days after the reaction that gave me PTSD. This contest would close around the time my PTSD treatments end, and could really give a :tongue: to say farewell to PTSD. Yay.
Many thanks!

If the link doesn't get you to my photo, it's the astronaut one.
I tried, but I need to enable cookies. I'll do it tomorrow!
Excellent picture. Good luck. Remind me and I'll vote daily.
Wonder....could I post the link on Hadfield's page? People on his page like astronaughts.
Lovely picture. I tried to vote, but it does not seem to be registering. I click and nothing happens. :(
It doesn't seem to work on my home computer either. I think it may be a Safari thing. It worked fine at work with Google Chrome. ???
Yes, you can post the link wherever you like and share with whomever. I would love Chris Hadfield's vote. (I was going to use a photo of Chris Hadfield and myself in front of the space shuttle on the launch pad at night but couldn't because I do not have his written permission.)
Weird. Your link works for me here. But on Facebook it goes wonky.
I have/use Chrome?
Ah! I had a pop up blocker on, but was only getting a teeny tiny window in the upper right corner of my window and did not see it yesterday. I usually get a full banner with that info. I voted. It says we can vote daily, so I will try to remember to do it more times.
Are you really going to be an astronaut?? Wow! And you are adorable. Love your pixie haircut.
When I voted today I noticed a Facebook link, so I clicked it. Hopefully it will get you more votes. :)
I agree with becca. You are adorable. And are you training to be a real astronaught?
Bit OT, but WestJet donated flights to Corporal Cirillo's family.

Just wanting to press the like button for this. Wow.
Oh my goodness. How cool is that? An astronaut! And yes--you look amazing.
I had to post it to my page for my vote to happen. NP though. Very cool.
Thanks for all the votes and nice comments.
Well, I'd like to be an astronaut someday. I don't have a PhD, which seemed to be a requirement the last time Canada hired astronauts. That doesn't stop me from trying, at least. I'm the biggest space geek most people will ever know. :)
We :heart: WestJet. Just got our latest flight confirmation from our travel agent and they have my allergy flagged and marked as carrying EpiPens. Yay! (We're visiting the Kennedy Space Center on this particular trip. Told you - space geek!)
You and nameless have a lot in common--and not just food allergies!
GREAT photo!!! So nice to know a future astronaut! :thumbsup:

Thank you! I feel awkward bumping my own post because everyone deserves to win. Thank you for all the votes. :heart:
My PTSD treatment officially ended yesterday, although I still have homework to do for the next year or so, as needed. :happydance: This community has been a huge support on my journey to recovery. (Sorry, off topic.)

Reminding people. Less than a week left to vote.
Thank you SilverLining, and everyone else who has been voting. :grouphug:

You're welcome.
I have voted several times. :)
Voting is done. So far, they haven't published who won.
They said they would email the winner the day after voting closed. I didn't get an email so I guess I didn't win. That's okay. I know whoever did win will deserve their vacation as much as anyone. :) in all fairness, I am in Walt Disney World right now so you won't hear me complaining. Thank you for all the votes and support everyone. I Ppreciate it. <3
The winner will be announced on the 23rd or 24th.
Random unrelated fact: Disney World now has EpiPens marked on the park map! At first aid locations.
Have fun. :)
My cousin is there with her kids right now too.
