May is the month when organizations around the country are hosting fund-raising walks for Celiac Disease. The majority of the money raised during these walks goes to the Center for Celiac Research. Support groups may choose to forward their fund raising efforts to other organizations such as the Gluten Intolerance Group, Intestinal Health Institute, and various kid’s camps. This is a great opportunity where individuals can make a significant impact in the awareness and research for Celiac Disease. So far, the Center for Celiac Research has raised over $750,000 for celiac research through efforts such as this national walk. Every little bit helps to raise awareness and further research on Celiac Disease. If you are interested in participating in an organized Walk please contact your local support group for more information or visit www.celiacwalk.org for more details on how you can participate.
