The Celiac Disease Foundation is delighted to be an Official Charity Partner for the 2024 Los Angeles Marathon. On March 17, six dedicated Team Gluten-Free® runners will come together to conquer 26.2 miles, all with a shared mission – raising crucial funds to advance the diagnosis, treatments, and finding a cure for celiac disease.

On behalf of the entire celiac disease patient community, thank you for your participation in the Celiac Disease Foundation’s 2023 Gift of Hope campaign! Our annual year-end initiative to raise awareness and funds for celiac disease research was extraordinary – all thanks to YOU.

Each November the Celiac Disease Foundation hosts our annual Turkey Trot to raise funds for celiac disease research to accelerate treatments and a cure. On November 11 and 12, more than 1,200 supporters from 38 states and countries around the world laced up to move 3.1 miles (5K) for a cure.

As we head into fall, I am happy to share that our 2023 Virtual Turkey Trot is right around the corner – and our team is gearing up for a terrific event! As our biggest annual fundraiser helping move us toward treatments and a cure for celiac disease, the Turkey Trot offers our community a wonderful opportunity to promote our shared mission.

On November 5, Team Gluten-Free runners unite to run the 2023 TCS NYC Marathon with the common goal of accelerating diagnosis, treatments, and a cure for the 3 million Americans affected by celiac disease. We are so grateful to these six runners for their inspiring efforts and invite you to learn more about what drives them to support our collective mission.  

Thanks to your support, we have been remarkably successful in advancing our shared mission over the past year. What follows are some highlights of some of our most important accomplishments.
