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

Join us for this special “fun”-raising experience! 

You, your family and friends!  Run, walk, donate or volunteer. Together we can fund research and support those who need to follow the gluten-free lifestyle for health.  All you need is a passion for helping people. That’s what unites us as a team, "Running Gluten-Free" and carries us over the finish line!

Receive training and fundraising tools, team t-shirts and photos, great prizes. Raise donations over $200 and we will refund $30 of your registration fee. Set-up a fundraising account and receive a wonderful gift bag from our partners!
