Help us raise money

For participating in 2022 TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon

Step Up 4 Celiac

We want to help the gluten-free community by riasing money  for the Canadian Celiac Association.  


Our donations provide access to programs and services like the client support desk where people at any stage of their celiac journey can have their questions answered.

 

Another example of a service your donation will support is the CCA’s in-staff registered dietitian Nicole Byrom. People newly-diagnosed with celiac disease can spend an hour talking to a registered dieitian who is knowledgeable about celiac disease and the life style changes thaving to eat a gluten-free diet for life involves.  

 

Description

1 in 100 Canadians lives with the burden and potential suffering that comes with celiac disease, a genetic autoimmune disorder that requires them to monitor and manage every morsel of food they consume. Unfortunately, up to 85% of those Canadians are exposed to potentially life-altering long-term health implications if not diagnosed.

Since 1973, the Canadian Celiac Association (CCA) exists to help every Canadian with celiac disease get diagnosed and empowered.

  • Research: We are Canada's largest national charitable funder of celiac disease and gluten disorder research
  • Education: We provide access to free evidence-based education to help Canadians confirm their diagnosis and support their journey to live longer, healthier lives.
  • Support services: From the moment someone is diagnosed, CCA provides one-one-one to group supports along with local mentorship to help someone manage their life-long journey.
  • Celiac information: Backed by our world class Professional Advisory Council, we are a leading source of evidence-based resources on all things celiac and gluten free.
  • Advocacy: We advocate for patients to increase access to safe, gluten-free food, medication and timely diagnosis.

The CCA is a volunteer-based, federally registered charitable organization with its national office in Mississauga, Ontario. CCA serves people with celiac disease and gluten-related disorders through affiliated chapters across Canada. 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.
