If you are interested, go to the following web-site:

Then click on the hi-lighted portion on the right-hand side of the page that reads:

"2nd International Walk (Run) for Celiac Disease (PDF)

This will pull up the registration page that you can then print, fill out and mail in with your registration fee.  You can have people sponsor you.  I have a pledge sheet available upon request.  They can give a lump sum donation in your name, with checks made payable to:  R.O.C.K.  There will also be a "Prizes for Pledges" contest as Danna wrote about earlier.  R.O.C.K. (Raising Our Celiac Kids) is offering a prize to the child who raises the most money in his or her name for the Celiac Disease Walk/Run in San Diego (benefiting Center for Celiac Research)

There will be a limit of 360 people for the blood-screening.  This is a great opportunity for those who've been diagnosed and want a close relative to be tested.  Getting a correct diagnosis can sometimes be very difficult.  Prometheus Labs is very familiar with Celiac Disease and will perform an accurate test.

We hope you can make it.  If you have any questions, please contact me at my e-mail address:
