Note from Alice: A Resolution for a Cure
As we begin a new year, there is so much promise ahead for our community! Even through the many challenges of 2020, a record number of clinical trials for celiac disease were recruiting patients – including the first ever to reach Phase 3 (learn more about the clinical trial process and stages). Our community rallied despite a global pandemic and helped spread awareness, raise funds and sign up for clinial trials! Additionally, many informative studies were published, and Beyond Celiac was there every step of the way to aid in the momentum of celiac disease research and keep you informed. In fact, we are so encouraged by the progress in the field, we announced our resolution to drive treatments towards a cure by 2030.
Today I urge you, as you create your own resolutions for the new year, to make driving research for celiac disease one of yours as well. There are a number of ways you can help us achieve this together.
Here are 5 ideas for you to drive celiac disease research in 2021:
- Donate or fundraise for research – Celiac disease research is woefully underfunded. Research can’t move forward without adequate levels of funding andnot only more but the best scientists in the field. We’re doing our part to end both of these issues through our grants program. Donate today to help us continue to fund the most promising celiac disease research. We steward carefully the money you entrust to us, supporting the approaches that are most promising for patients, as we work towards a cure.You can also help raise funds by creating a benefiting event for Beyond Celiac. It only takes a few minutes to raise critical funds for celiac disease research! Explore the options below to see which one is right for you.
- Create a Facebook fundraiser. Actively expand our community by asking your network to contribute to a cause that matters to you.
- Set up an individual giving page. Create your own giving page with our turnkey platform.
- Register for a Step Beyond Celiac race and invest in a future Beyond Celiac. Connect to our national community from wherever you are while raising awareness and crucial funds. 2021 race info coming soon!
- Fill out research surveys – Your story is crucial to making sure that researchers understand our struggles and the outcomes we need to improve the quality of our lives. . Our online patient research database Go Beyond Celiac collects self-reported data to learn more about life with celiac disease and help researchers better understand this serious genetic autoimmune disease.
- Stay informed – Keep up-to-date on the latest in celiac disease by subscribing to our newsletter and research news e-blasts and/or follow us on social media. Then share the information with friends and family to help increase awareness.
- Participate in a clinical trial – As a person affected by celiac disease, you can play an important role in advancing research by participating in a clinical trial or study. If you’re subscribed to our research e-blasts, you’ll get the latest details on currently recruiting trials for celiac disease.
- Become a Beyond Celiac ambassador – We recently created an ambassador program to empower those with celiac disease by providing outlets to share their experiences, spread positivity and create change in their communities.
Together we can drive research for treatments and a cure and make 2021 the best year yet for celiac disease.
Together for a cure,
The Reach Beyond Celiac Ambassador Program will empower the celiac community by providing outlets to share their experiences, spread positivity and create change in their communities.
