The Westchester Celiac Sprue Support Group invites you to join us at the
second annual "A Race for the Cure," sponsored by the John J. Kelly Celiac
Foundation.  The event will be held October 19th, 2000 - 7:00 p.m, at the VIP
Country Club, New Rochelle, New York.

John J. Kelly was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in his 40's, shortly before
he died in 1998 of esophageal cancer. Patrick Kelly, Cathy McCarthy and their
family founded the John J. Kelly Celiac Foundation in order to perpetuate
their brother's memory and to help people with Celiac Disease.  They felt
that John's death may have been prevented if he had been diagnosed earlier
with Celiac Disease.  Peter Green, M.D., who recognized John's symptoms and
made the diagnosis, states that "Celiac Disease is thought to be a
predisposing factor in the development of esophageal cancer."

Last year's "Race for a Cure" was attended by over 300 people, and was a
delightful evening as well as a huge success in raising funds for the Celiac
Disease Research Fund at Columbia University College of Physicians and
Surgeons. "Race for a Cure" will be held at the beautiful VIP Club, 600
Davenport Avenue, New Rochelle, NY, located right on scenic Long Island
Sound.  While the purpose of the fundraiser is serious, the evening will be
fun for everyone. There will be actual horse races for viewing on large
screens, and favorite horses to bet on. A buffet dinner that will include a
great selection of gluten-free food will be served, and there will also be an
impressive list of raffled prizes to be won.  Proceeds of the "Race for a
Cure" fundraising event will again be donated to the Celiac Disease Research
Fund at Columbia University to support research efforts and to help establish
a Celiac Disease Center.

The Kelly family, hoping to encourage a large attendance, has kept the price
of the event reasonable at $50 per person, which includes the dinner.
Advance reservations are necessary, and can be made by sending a check
payable to the John J. Kelly Celiac Foundation, c/o Keep Insurance, 303 South
Broadway, Tarrytown, NY 10591. (914) 524-9500.  Please include your name,
address, phone number, and number of people attending.
