My Story…

Hi everyone, I’ve been training hard to run a 5K and decided to participate in this fundraising event for the Canadian Celiac Association to help find a cure for celiac disease. My sister, Ella, and I have had celiac disease since we were 8 and 11 and my mom has it too as do lots of my other family members. Celiac can cause serious health issues if you don’t manage it. Managing it properly means not being able to eat out much at all because not many restaurants are safe, bringing my own food to birthday parties and peoples’ houses for dinner because it’s almost impossible to avoid cross-contamination and then dealing with bad upset stomachs, headaches and tiredness sometimes even when I’ve done my best to make sure my food is safe. Thank you for any contribution you can make to help eliminate celiac disease and its complications. Xo Lucas
