About Me:
UPDATE: wow, it's been many years unfortunately. My son is now 20 yrs old and has Alopecia universalis and my daughter was Diagnosed a couple of years ago as well and she has Alopecia Areata (similar to how her brother started). Needless to say this was tough for me intitally, I couldn't understand why this happened to both my children. However Now my Son is such a Role model and support for other kids that want to talk with him that it warms my heart. If He's Strong then I need to be. I'm still trying to be for my daughter but I am thankful she has her brother to look up to.

    Hello and welcome, Angelina and Austin!
    Perhaps you might like to educate Austin's school -- there's a free video tape just for that purpose available at www.naaf.org. When kids know more about alopecia, they tend to be more compassionate.

    Hi, I live in St. Albert my 11 yr old daughter Kyra has Alopecia. There is a new support group in edmonton if you are interested our next meeting will be later on this month I believe. You can e-mail me at mmhart@shaw.ca or go to www.edmontonalopecia.blogspot.com but since this is a new support group the web page is not always up to date.
