8th Annual Cycling for Celiacs

It is once again that time of year where a group of crazy celiacs tune up their bikes and prepare for the 11 day ride from Victoria to Edmonton. The purpose of the long ride is to help raise awareness about Celiac disease, as well as to raise funds for the J.A. Campbell research fund. All Celiacs benefit from the work of a few. The more people that we can make aware about Celiac disease, the better it is for us all, as more restaurants, hotels, food manufacturers, and just the general public become aware of what it means to be gluten free. With more funds for research, we are closer to finding alternative treatments, can help improve diagnostic tools, and find better substitutes for gluten in foods.
