Power Voices For Celiac Disease

We NEED a famous name(s) to give Celiac Disease the voice it deserves.  The four wonderful people below have all been diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Wouldn't it be fantastic if they got together for an official awareness campaign? I think it could really open some eyes and create not only understanding, but an increased level of interest.


Elisabeth Hasselbeck - Former Survivor castaway and a Co Host on the View, she often promotes awareness for Celiac Disease. With two books to date (The G-Free Diet and newly launched Deliciously G-Free) Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a true leader in the Gluten Free Community.

 Tom Kostopoulos - The Calgary Flames Forward  has teamed up with the with the Canadian Celiac Association and is a spokesman for the Calgary Chapter.

 Craig Pinto - This former arena football player launched the Kicking4Celiac Foundation, which raised money, provides scholarships and promotes awareness.

 Dennis Hallman  -  Mixed Martial Arts fame. I have not found any information on Dennis Hallman being involved in the Celiac Community.Just information on his diagnosis and how it helped him bounce back.

Alek's Controllable Halloween Decorations for Celiac Research


Alek Komarnitsky is a parent on a mission. His two boys have Celiac Disease and for the past 7 years he has been doing something spectacular to help raise awareness for the condition. He decorates his house to the extreme for Halloween. It really deserves to be on an HGTV Halloween special. It gets better too....We can control the lights! Alek's website offers us the opportunity to view the decorations on 3 live webcams. You can even inflate/deflate Homer Simpson, the Incredible Hulk as well as other awesome characters. Alek's Controllable Halloween Decorations for Celiac Disease is probably the most innovative and interactive way to raise money for Celiac Disease yet.




If you enjoy the decorations (and hard work) please consider donating to the  over $60,000 raised for the University of Maryland Center for Celiac Research. Don't forget to  send an instant message over the webcam. You can also watch the fun and excitement on Halloween night.
