Help Luisa raise money

For participating in 2019 Scotiabank Vancouver Half-Marathon & 5k

My Story…

Hello! I was diagnosed with CD in 2015, after over ten years not knowing what was wrong with me. The diagnose alone was not enough to start the healing process. It took me 3 more years to start felling better, with a dietitian's guidance and a lot of effort to eat gluten-free and to try and avoid cross-contamination. Unfortunately, Celiac Disease is significantly under funded from a research point of view. Also, the gluten-free “fad” is over and the future may find we have less food options than we do today. We need to work together to change this.

Description
