As my 50th birthday approached, I occasionally thought about the fact that much was about to change for me. I struggled with the thoughts of impending possibilities such as weight gain, wrinkles, aches and pains, and the gradual waning of my physical abilities. But I also thought about my journey with alopecia over the past 24 years.
With alopecia the questions were…

Recently, a mother whose beautiful young daughter has alopecia said to me, "I always tell my daughter that you are her twin. I tell her when she grows up, she's going to look like you."
The emotions that statement elicited in me were very strong: I was honored and extremely humbled.
Our reach as alopecians is far beyond us. We may be just living our lives and, at the same time, encouraging a neighbor, a person on our morning commute, or perhaps someone we least…

Some day,
We'll stop looking for the answers,
And maybe,
Wear our hearts out on our sleeves,
But it's hard to make them see, and—
Just look at who are we,
Don't judge us as you please, we aren't weak,
Oh no.
And the dreams we sew,

And the more we grow—
The more they will see us, and greet us
We'll…

A Brisbane Times news articled states:
“When Joanna Rowsell's right eyebrow disappeared 14 years ago, an event that only marked the beginning of hair loss all over her then nine-year-old body, she could never have imagined feeling good about the experience that completely threw her self-esteem and caused her to hide under hats and wigs.”
“On Saturday night in London, the same person stood before the world as she was crowned an Olympic world champion. At age 23, bald…

British cycling champion Joanna Rowsell has revealed how her hair-loss disorder, alopecia areata, spurred her on to be "even more focused" after becoming an overnight poster girl for all sufferers.
Joanna shared the following "It scares me to think I would not have found cycling. The alopecia made me very shy so I stayed in and intensely focused on my homework or that A* in an exam.
"Working hard was the only thing that stopped me from worrying about the future, about whether I…

Alopecia World inspires far more people than those living with various types of alopecia.
I think about this every time I am approached by a non-alopecian who not only recommended the site to someone struggling with hair loss, but who also regularly visits AlopeciaWorld.com because they are deeply moved by what they see and learn from our beloved community.
Trust me -- I know the feeling.
As the husband of the alopecic and adorable co-founder of Alopecia World, Cheryl…
