My Story…
I’m stepping up to help Celiac Canada empower those with celiac disease to enjoy the highest quality of life and to support research that will eventually lead to a cure. There are 400,000 Canadians, of all ages, with this autoimmune disease and 6 out of 7 don’t know they have it.
I will be walking 200,000 steps (approximately 140 kms) during the month of October to raise funds so that Celiac Canada can continue its critical work. Your donation can help ensure that resources and support are there for those living with this challenging condition. Thanks!
Update on November 1, 2024: I walked more than 200,000 steps - I did 360,388 steps to be exact - during the month of October. Thanks to my generous sponsors, I was able to raise $530.53 for Celiac Canada.
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.
