raising awareness.

Well hello everybody! 

We can't believe all of the support we have gotten from you all over the past three days, it's absolutely amazing. We can't say it enough, THANK YOU. Today I (Ellie!) will be writing about celiac awareness, why we chose celiac + what you can do about it.

I first heard about Celiac Disease a year ago. Before that, I had no idea what it was. That's the case for so many Americans now, and that's why we want to raise awareness for it. Did you know that Silent Celiac Disease is a real thing? Do you know what gluten free food is?

We chose Celiac BECAUSE not many people know about it. BECAUSE we felt like it was an unknown disease in the world and that needs to change. BECAUSE the people who have Celiac are real and they are living real lives and we care about them. And we want you to care about them too. We think you all are awesome. :) We are collecting stories now, and will be featuring some people on our blog within the next few weeks. Do you have Celiac? We'd love to hear your story.

The reason we ask you to share our video or our website is not because we think we're so great. I mean, we're fun. ;) But we really care about Celiac Disease and getting THAT message out. We want to tell as many people as we can about our mission, which is: C4 is about giving better lives to those who have Celiac and giving information to those who don't have it. 

So keep sharing, please. We can't do this alone! Keep the message going that Celiac is real and the people that have it are real. We can't believe how far C4 has already gone and we are excited to see where it goes in the future.
