Walk with us at 2 p.m. on Sunday June 9 in support of Celiac Disease research. This will be an hour prior to the Bibibop Event at 3 p.m.

We are walking in support of the research fundraiser at Beyond Celiac.

Beyond Celiac funds scientific research towards curing celiac disease.

From their website:

Since 2003, Beyond Celiac has been the leading patient advocacy and research-driven celiac disease organization working to drive diagnosis, advance research and accelerate the discovery of new treatments and a cure.

By engaging with the top scientists in the field, awarding research grants, and supporting the community, Beyond Celiac envisions a world in which people with celiac disease can live healthy lives and eat without fear – a world Beyond Celiac.

We will meet in front of the Westlake Recreation Center, 28955 Hilliard Blvd., Westlake, OH 44145. We will walk on the outside track for approx. 30 minutes. The Westlake Rec. Center is about one half mile from the Bibibop location in Crocker Park where our 3 p.m. Free meal event will be. There is plenty of free parking around the front of the Westlake Rec. Center. If it is raining, please bring an umbrella.

You are also welcome to join us in walking without donating to Beyond Celiac. Or donate and walk at a different time convenient to you.
