My Story…

On June 23, 2019 I am participating in a Scotia Bank 5K Run and am hoping for your support. Your generosity will help make a difference. I have Celiac Disease, making my lifestyle very challenging. On Daily basis, many people like me struggle to find safe meals when dining in or out. It is not a food Allergy where I will go into an anaphylactic shock. Even one crumb can make me sick and stay in my system for 2-3 months causing damage to my body. When I get gluten, I have to endure my symptoms and take care of my body as it attacks itself. There is no medicine for this illness. Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder that has over 300 different symptoms. It’s sad to say but over 80% with this illness are undiagnosed. Please donate to the Canadian Celiac Association - Vancouver Chapter. This non-profit organization is trying to Find, Treat, Cure and Help those who are impacted by this disease. Warm Regards, Pushpa Kapadia (604) 721-0098 pushpakapadia@gmail.com
