Last summer my 4-year old grand-daughter learned that she has coeliac disease; since then the strictly gluten-free diet has revolutionised her health and her enjoyment of life. The information and guidance from CoeliacUK's research has been of considerable value in guiding her family to understand the condition, manage symptoms and support her to live gluten-free, such as listings ingredients and recipes for meals at home and which restaurants can be relied on to prepare gluten-free food.

I am taking the challenge to support CoeliacUK by entering the Edinburgh Marathon on 25th May 2025. I last ran a marathon 11 years ago. Unsurprisingly, 'tempus fugit' convinces my body that the training is much harder work this time around, especially in 'sunny' Scotland! Please consider funding my efforts in training and the final event so that CoeliacUK can continue their work. Thank you.
