My Story…
Help me cross the finish line. This year it's personal.
Back in 1973, when Celiac Canada was first formed, little did I know (when this profile photo was taken) that the lives of my sister and I would be so impacted by this disease and the organization.
Fast forward 50 years, as the Executive Director of this small but mighty 50 year old national charity, I see every day the countless lives being positively impacted thanks to individuals like you.
This year is bittersweet as I am also "Stepping up for celiac" for my sister Kimberley who was diagnosed just before Christmas last year.
I have seen first hand how this disease, left undiagnosed, can diminish health and quality of life. I've also witnessed first hand the positive impact Celiac Canada's compassionate staff and volunteers, expert resources, and peer support can have on a life.
Celiac Canada is the only national charity fighting for Canadians with this life altering autoimmune disease that impacts 1% of the world's population. There is no cure.
I hope you can support my walk to change lives today.
Description
Over 100,000 people with celiac disease or gluten-related disorders rely on Celiac Canada every year, looking for support, education, advocacy help, and the latest information. We help people get access to safe, gluten-free food and a timely diagnosis. We're backed by a medical advisory council and we provide free education so our community can live longer, healthier lives. We're Canada's largest national charitable funder of celiac disease and gluten-disorder research. From the moment someone gets diagnosed, we support them every step of the way. We're all working towards a common goal: to help everyone with celiac disease or a gluten-related disorder get diagnosed and empowered to live their best life.
This year is our 50th birthday and our goal is to have 50 people participate in this event with us. You can help by joining us today.
Please contact gloria.baldwin@celiac.ca if you need more information or support with your fundraiser. I'm happy to help.
