Alopecia World
It's Hair Loss Support At Its Best™
Today I cried
I read a story about a little girl in Mass. with Alopecia. Her cheerleading team and all the pop warner football team wore bandanas on their heads or a T on their helmets to support her during a fundraiser. One of the parents (a coach) and a player shaved their heads to support her.
I read this in the latest NAAF newsletter, and got teary-eyed. Then, I read it out loud to my husband and started sobbing. What an amazing group of people. It made me wish I had that kind of community support when I was first going through this.

Hi
Aren't there some lovely people around. I've personally always been totally supported by the alopecian community in NZ and because of that I understand how important it is to give back.
Even though it sounds like you didn't get that support at the beginning of your journey with AA. I'm sure that you now give it back tenfold because you know how important it is. I think we are so fortunate to be able to be involved with support on this wonderful site and the other support sites out there.

Hi Stephanie
There are truly amazing supportive community and groups around in the society today. I believe the internet and the generation of information technology has made things easier and faster. Today, alopecia information and support are easily accessible but then conventional support like a hug from a friend is still much relevant now and the future. So take care and let us all make the world a better place.
