Proud Dad

My 14 year old son who has no hair and hasn't had any for most of the last 4 years, spoke at a school assembly at another school that has a 6 year old boy with Alopecia Areata,

He spoke about his personal experience and how the support of his friends was so important in turning his confidence around.  We are hopeful that this talk will help make the 6 year old boy's journey much easier.

It makes a huge difference to a child to know that their friends won't judge them on there lack of hair.

So happy to hear Greg. It is difficult growing up and going through school having something that kids and most adults don't understand or relate to. I'm sure that the 6yr old boy will remember the words of your son for years to come.
