Celiac Awareness Walk
Thank you for your interest in our first ever Celiac Awareness Walk hosted by Children’s Wisconsin. We could not be more excited for this event. All proceeds raised from this event will be used to support the Bonnie Lynn Mechanic Celiac Disease Clinic and our Children’s Wisconsin Celiac Disease Support Group.We will collect registration fees on the day of the event by cash or check (payable to Children’s WI Foundation). The fee is $10 for each adult and $5 for each child over the age of 2 you are registering.
The Children’s Wisconsin Bonnie Lynn Mechanic Celiac Disease Clinic offers a comprehensive celiac disease management program. The interdisciplinary team includes a pediatric gastroenterologist, registered dietitians and a psychologist who specialize in treating this condition and work together to ensure children get the best care possible. The Celiac Disease Program at Children’s Wisconsin is focused on helping to identify, treat and support families with celiac disease.
Over 10 years ago, the Children’s Wisconsin Celiac Support Group was created and has evolved over the years to provide support for the family as a whole in a variety of ways. The goal of our support group is to help our patients and families connect with others who are living with celiac disease. Support group events include our annual gluten free cookie exchange, gluten-free cooking classes and discussions about the psychosocial aspects of living with a chronic disease. It’s a great opportunity for families to ask questions and share ideas, stories and advice.
(PLEASE NOTE: Registration for the 2024 event is now closed. Please check back for information on future events!)
