Barbara Pugh is a travel agent in the Portland area who knows a lot about being gluten free. She is gluten intolerant. Of course she also likes to travel and half the fun of doing that is getting to eat safely while seeing the sights of the world. She'd like to extend that opportunity to you as well.
She has booked 20 cabins on an Alaska cruise on Holland America for Aug 27, 2010. She will have a table at the Food Fair on May 1 in Portland with more information if you have any questions. To see the cruise flyer please click here. More information is also available at: www.sunconnections.com.

Inspiring Celiac to Raise Funds and Awareness
Cynthia Kupper, RD, Executive Director of GIG North America sent the following information:
”Michele Wallick is sailing 7,000 nautical miles across the South Atlantic to raise awareness for the estimated 2,700,000 undiagnosed Americans with Celiac Disease. Michele was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in December 2006. She is partnering with the research expertise of University of Maryland’s Center for Celiac Research and the gluten free community network of the Gluten Intolerant Group of North America to raise funds for this Celiac Awareness Campaign. These funds will be used to promote more community awareness and education for health professionals.
Michele and her husband Greg will be sailing a catamaran from Cape Town, South Africa in early November. You will be able to read about their adventures, track their progress across the Atlantic and donate at Michele’s website www.gfadventures.com. Please consider helping Michele find the 2,700,000 undiagnosed Americans by donating to this Celiac Awareness Campaign. Donate at www.gluten.net/AtlanticCrossing.php. Their goal is to raise $14,000 - $2 for every mile of the crossing. Funds will be used to promote community awareness and education for health professionals.”
