Colin Leslie Walk for Celiac Disease
The seventh annual Colin Leslie Walk for Celiac Disease will be held on September 30th starting from Rye High School in Rye, NY at 9 am. This event raises funds for research on celiac disease, an autoimmune disease
that Colin has. In addition to a 2 or 4 mile walk route, other events that day include a gluten free vendor fair with approximately 40 vendors, a gluten free lunch for purchase, and a speaker – Dr. Peter Green, director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University. A Rye Fire Department fire engine will be on-site for the kids. For information, to register for the Walk or to donate
to Colin’s cause, go to ww.colinlesliewalkforceliacdisease.org. All proceeds are donated to the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University Medical Center.
