Columbus, OH - Making Tracks for Celiacs

The Gluten-Free Gang of Central Ohio is excited to participate in the third

international "Making Tracks for Celiacs" walk event, to benefit the Center

for Celiac Research and the local support group. Please mark your calendars

for:

*Saturday, May 1, 2004* -- please note that our walk date is 2 weeks ahead

of the weekends designated by the CFCR, due to date conflicts with the Susan

G. Komen Race for the Cure in Columbus.

We are very pleased that this year's Central Ohio walk event will take place

at Fred Beekman Park, on The Ohio State University campus (very accessible,

lots of parking). The park has a really nice 1-mile loop (and off the

roadways), so participants can walk, run or rollerblade as few or as many

miles as desired. As in previous years, we will be holding a silent auction

of very nice items donated; this year, we are adding a raffle of "theme"

baskets.

While we aren't able to offer on-line registration, our registration form

and information form are available for download from the COCR website --

direct link to all the walk information and forms is:

many copies as you need.

If you can help with the event in any way -- by volunteering on various

committees, donating products or supplies, or helping us find sponsors,

please contact the walk coordinators, Barb Meek (email:

bmeek1@insight.rr.com, or phone: 614-834-0156), or Bob Janosy (phone: 614-

784-8642).

Thanks for your help in supporting research and educational efforts

(locally, nationally and internationally)!
