What is Cycling For Celiacs

Cycling for Celiacs is an annual event that offers everyone an opportunity to enjoy the pleasures of riding their bicycle while helping those with Celiac Disease by collecting pledges and donations in support of research, support and service.

• Net proceeds from the Victoria to Edmonton Trek will go to support the J.A. Campbell Research Fund
• Net proceeds from the mini-rides will be used for support and services for those living with Celiac Disease. Mini-ride proceeds will be used as follows:
  • 50% of funds raised from the mini-rides will be directed to the Canadian Celiac Association National Office to fund services and support to those with Celiac Disease
  • 50% of funds raised from the mini-rides will be directed to the local Chapter conducting the Mini-Ride to enable them to provide service and support to Celiacs in their region
