My Story…
There is nothing worse than seeing someone you love go through a serious health issue. I experienced this when my sister was constantly severely sick leading to hospitalizations etc.
A few years later we learned she was unknowingly experiencing the wrath of celiac disease.
This process left me shocked at how common it is, yet how challenging it was for her (and others) to receive a proper diagnosis. Because of her experience, I was also shocked to learn about everyday items that contain wheat, such as, toothpaste, lip chap, paper straws, vinegar etc. WHY?!
I am now running a 5K to bring awareness to celiac disease to others who are challenged with the management of this everyday of the rest of their lives.
Any amount that you are able to donate will go far in spreading awareness, supporting research efforts, helping others with celiac disease get the resources and support they need, and providing education and awareness of what celiac disease is.
Thank you!
