Since January 2001, CSG has gained a reputation as the
 community resource for current information on the
 disease and required diet through education sessions and
 programs by the area's doctors and other
 health care providers. President Amy Eliezer said, "We
 look to this walkathon to expose more people
 to the need for early diagnosis, continuing research and to
 CSG where Sarasota and Manatee county
 residents and the newly-diagnosed will find the help needed
 to achieve good health."
