Some said the Asthmatic School Children's Treatment and Health Management Act of 2004 (ASTHMA 2004) would never happen - not in an election year. But they underestimated the determination of this year's Mothers' Choice Award winners, who championed the bill through both the House and Senate and straight to the White House . . . in 18 months! Today, schoolchildren with asthma and anaphylaxis and their parents and teachers can all breathe with relief as states enact laws protecting student access to critical medications. Thank you!

Congressman Patrick Kennedy receives the Mothers' Choice Award and shares a laugh with AANMA's Nancy Sander and Sandra Fusco-Walker.
