Help find a cure

The Twin Cities walk/run, in conjunction with many other Making Tracks for Celiac events around the U.S., raise money for the UMB Center for Celiac Research. In 2009, the Center for Celiac Research and Dr. Alessio Fasano made strides in the research of zonulin. They identified the molecule as a haptoblobin2 – a precursor molecule only found in humans. It appears to impact the protective barrier of cells lining the gut and other areas of the body, which affects people with celiac disease and other autoimmune disorders. Our annual Walk/Run for Celiac Disease fundraiser and subsequent research are making a difference for celiac disease.

Up to 25% of the money raised will be used for local celiac awareness projects and the walk/run expenses. Raise awareness – Get the word out about celiac disease. The more people know about it, the fewer undiagnosed cases there will be.
