My Story…
I am on the Board of Celiac Canada and I am walking again this year to raise funds for the organization!
About 1 in 100 Canadians have celiac disease, but due to low rates of diagnosis, 6 out of 7 of them don't know it! Celiac disease can manifest in a wide range of symptoms, be life threatening, and significantly lower quality of life, if not diagnosed and treated. We want to change that!
Three members of my immediate family are impacted by this disease and we were fortunate to have the support of Celiac Canada when the diagnosis was new to us, especially when our oldest daughter was very unwell and diagnosed at the age of 3.
Thank you for considering sponsoring me. Even a small donation is appreciated!
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.
Sign Up now to participate and raise funds for programs and services for people living with celiac disease in Canada. We need each participant to raise $100 towards our $50,000 goal. Yes, this year please make that commitment to become a part of the fun and success in knowing you stepped up and went the distance! Prizes are available for top fundraisers in each event category.
Please note that the Registration Fees are administration fees and not donated back to Celiac Canada.
Our goal is to have 70 people participate in this event with us. You can help by joining us today.
