Please let me know if there's any support group in Virginia that my 12 yr old can go to at least talk to.  She lost her hair in less than a month.  I think it's starting to sink in that she's showing…Continue

VG- I agree, it would be great to set up a meeting. Maybe early December or after New Years. Holidays coming up fast. I assume most of us are in NoVA? We can brainstorm location, I'm thinking happy hour...dinner...movie...not sure... I think just to meet some of you would be cathartic for me. I deal with this thing by ignoring it, fighting it, hiding it - so meeting you folks will be an interesting emotional event for me.

Well folks, looks like in the past few weeks at least 4 us from NoVa have expressed interest to meet-Kristen, VG, John and Sarah. We can probably set up a date and location to have a group talk. Thoughts???

Hey everyone. I grew up in nova and have lived down in Orlando, FL for the past 4 years. I just moved back up here this week for a job. It'd be nice to meet some of you up here.

Great to see a group for NoVa. Has there been any meeting so far?
Any future meetings? Tks.

Hi all - I've been looking for a group in the NoVA area. Since diagnosis over 7 years ago I have never spoken to anyone with AA. It would be nice to have a group to talk to.

Looking forward to see this come together. I'm just learning how to work this site so hopefully I will stay in touch. I'm about 1hr from Richmond so works for me:)

Hi all

First, I should be upfront here that I do not have alopecia, but my sister Sarah who lives in Texas has has alopecia universalis for 2.5 years. My ister goes by Sarah S on this site - not be confused with Sarah Seward though :) . I am a member of the group non-alopecians in alopecia world to help me find ways to more effectively support my sister.

Anyways, I would be happy to help out with any awareness event in the RIchmond area since I live here. I think that the national alopecia areata foundation (naaf) has some information on how to coordinate a run/walk event.
Comment by Sarah Seward on March 10, 2010 at 11:14pm
No problem! Yes I think we all should. Hopefully more people will join the group. I just think awarness needs to be brought to attention. Maybe in the long run I would like to hold a run/walk event to raise money for the organization. We should defintely all make some time to get together!

Hi Sarah .. thanks for putting this together. Sam and I were talking about getting together in Richmond once we can find a day & time that works.
