Hi, I'm Anna Reeve (Fitzpatrick). I have had alopecia since I was 7. Used to model (bald) in New Zealand and around the world and am now happily married starting a new chapter in my life. I hardly ever log on to this site but happy to answer questions, best way is to seek me out on at www.annareeve.co.nz
Hi Anna, I wanted to welcome you to Alopecia World. I can honestly say that we are a great community here and I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us.
I just wanted to say Thankyou for the work that you are doing for Alopecia in Australia. I think that Australia is kind of lagging behind in awareness but when I saw the segment that they did on Today Tonight, I felt just such a sigh of relief because it is like...finally, people with alopecia is being recognised; and it is all thanks to you and your bravery.
I have a friend that lives in Perth whose little girl has AU. She came to Melbourne to visit us and to support each other and I showed her daughter your pictures on the net. She went home so inspired and happy.
Hi! I just joined the site and then watched the video that was posted where you were interviewed for the NZ and Australia alopecia foundation, and then... *poof* I saw you just recently become a member too! So naturally I had to add you! I hope I can draw some strength from you, as I am only a newbie to the world of alopecia.
yeah, I have been in contact with the Adamson and they have been instrumental in all this. We don't have anything like the US but I can see that we are on our way. The function will be on in a few weeks and I really hope it makes the news.
I guess you will be a great role model because alot of girls can look at you and say that it is possible to achieve anything they want to. Do you know any other models with Alopecia.
Do you travel around Australia to give talks Anna?
heyy, just wanted to say how inspirational you are to me!! Its good to know there are people with alopecia who have been appreciated for who are they are and being so recognised world wide.! Thanks!
You are a truly beautiful young women and I hope Leah turns out to be just like you. I love your pics and you are a true inspiration to any young lady with Alopecia.
Hi Anna-
Just wanted to say thank you for being brave enough to be open and share your pictures with the world. When I went to AU in 2003 I found your picture on the internet and it really had a very powerful influence on me and how I thought about beauty and baldness.
Thank you for showing the beauty in bald.

Hi Anna - I love your pictures, you are beautiful! Young women seeing you and all that you do with your alopecia will truely inspire them and to realize that this disease does not have to run your life.
I was wondering if you know about the Children's Alopecia Project? If you don't you can visit us at www.childrensalopeciaproject.org We are specific to helping build self-esteem in children living with all forms of Alopecia. My wife has had Alopecia Areata for 31 years and my second oldest of 4 daughters, Maddie (10) has Universalis. I went bald the old fashion way. Getting old!
