Breakfast of Champions

Today, the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce held the "Breakfast of Champions", which took place at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, NY.
One local deli, Cucina D'Amore, located on Titusville Road, sells my bread fresh every Friday, and the owner, George, asked us to share a booth with him during this event. His many Boars Head Products are a perfect gluten free compliment for my bread. There were approximately 1,400 people at the event, and since 1 out of every 133 people has celiac disease, we met several celiacs.

5K for Celiac!

This past Saturday, June 12th, I participated in the Treetops to Rooftops 5K that took place on the Walkway Over the Hudson. I ran for celiac disease, along with my guidance counsler Mrs. Miller, and Mrs. Sotland and her family. My finishing time was 32:08, and I collected approximately $200.00, which will be donated to the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center. My guidance counsler, Mrs. Miller, pictured with me, was instrumental in helping with this event.

Gluten-Free Tasting at Nature's Pantry

Last Sunday, I was invited to visit Nature's Pantry in Newburgh, NY, for a taste testing of my gluten-free bread (My Kidz!). It was a nice way to promote awareness about the disease, as well as give those with celiac a chance to sample some products. We were also joined by Heidi's Gluten-Free Greatness. Heidi's company is also local. Her brownies were delicious!
Hopefully we will be able to do another taste-testing soon!
