Walk for Celiac Disease Fall 2026

Burn some calories while raising money for your favorite Celiac Disease organization!

Make a donation and/or fundraise for the Celiac-related organization(s) of your choice. Then meet us in front of Health Plan Superstore at Great Northern Mall at 10:15am on Saturday, November 14th, 2026 to walk 5 kilometers (about 3 laps around the mall) for Celiac Disease. After we complete our walk, if anyone is interested, we can drive to a local gluten free restaurant to have lunch together.

All donations must be sent directly to the organization(s) of your choice. We will NOT be collecting any money at this event.

Or feel free to make or buy your own clothing that raises Celiac Disease awareness! Celiac-related clothing is encouraged but not required to walk with us.

Can’t make it on November 14th? Feel free to make a donation and/or raise money for your favorite organization(s), and walk at a time and place that works for you.
