Participants from over 16 European countries participated in the Coeliac Day Run collecting funds to support coeliacs affected by the war in Ukraine.
The American association Celiac Disease Foundation appoints Dr. Joseph A. Murray for the prize Excellence in Celiac Disease Research. The prize winner donates all winnings to AOECS Central Emergency Fund.
Today is Coeliac Awareness Day. We mark this day to raise attention to a stealth disease that affects the lives of 7 - 15 million Europeans.
It is getting increasingly more difficult for people to find gluten-free food inside Ukraine. The humanitarian aid to ship gluten-free food into Ukraine continues and 750 food parcels were delivered to different regions inside Ukraine in April. More help is needed.
Join the Coeliac Day Virtual run and support coeliacs in Ukraine. You can choose to run, walk or cycle 3 or 10 km during May 16th - 22nd. Read more about this and sign up for the race here; https://www.aoecs.org/webinars-events/coeliac-day-virtual-run-2022
Over 1 500 families have received gluten free food packages in Ukraine with support from AOECS Emergency Fund.
AOECS emergency fund to help coeliacs affected by the war is coming to use. National Coeliac Societies from neighboring countries to Ukraine are coordinating transports into Ukraine. The Ukranian Coeliac Society is administering donated gluten-free food inside Ukraine in its turn.
AOECS sets up a Central Emergency Fund for handling donations to Ukrainian Coeliacs. The funds will in short term be used to administer the logistics of distributing already donated gluten-free food.
