Help Melissa raise money

For participating in Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Virtual Race 2020

My Story…

Hello! I am the National Executive Director of the Canadian Celiac Association (CCA). I am proud to be walking/running a virtual marathon to help raise awareness of celiac disease (an autoimmune disease) and gluten disorders in Canada. So many people incorrectly think that the gluten-free diet is just a fad diet. But for people living with celiac disease and gluten disorders it is a challenging but necessary way of life because there is no other treatment or cure for them. With your financial support, we hope to get people diagnosed sooner and find a treatment and in the meantime continue to empower individuals through education, programs and services. Help us raise $25,000! We can do this!

Description

The Canadian Celiac Association (CCA) is a volunteer-based, federally registered charitable organization with its national office in Mississauga, Ontario.

The CCA is here to help people with celiac disease and gluten disorders to regain power over every aspect of their lives. With increased research incentives powered by our donors, community networking, and mutual supporters, we are regaining power over our disease, our bodies, and our lives. Your support provides advocacy, education, and resources to those with celiac disease and gluten disorders.
