International Alopecia Day 2012 - Saturday, August 4!

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ON INTERNATIONAL ALOPECIA DAY THIS YEAR?

A small get-together with friends? Lunch? Picnic in the park? Walk/run? Info table at a mall? Party? Check out the previous years' videos for ideas. Plan something small or large.

It's our day to raise public awareness and celebrate with friends. For those of you who've been wanting to try going out in public bald for the first time, THIS is the perfect day!

Be a part of this year's YouTube video slideshow by taking photos of yourself and your friends on August 4 to send to me later. It's BEST if you hold up a sign (can be handwritten) that says your city/location and "International Alopecia Day 2012".

Join the International Alopecia Day Group on AlopeciaWorld and/or Facebook, and post a blog about YOUR location and plans.

Please share this with your Alopecian friends around the U.S. AND all over the world - the more countries we have represented, the better! Local newspapers and TV will report about this event if we can list a number of cities and countries taking part - it BECOMES news, and helps us get the word out about Alopecia Areata.

See you OUT there!
Mary

Hosein, I was able to save the photos to my computer, but unfortunately, they are very small size photos. I think they will be too small for the video. Is it possible for you to send me larger files? You can send them to me in a message on Alopecia World, or try posting them to your album as you did these.

There is no hurry...it will take a few weeks for people to send me their International Alopecia Day photos. I'm going to create an email account for photos also, and I'll be sharing that with everyone soon. Thank you!

Hi Hosein - I see the new photos. Elahe is lovely! I'm going to be slowly getting photos from people, and I'll be working on the video. I'll decide how many photos I can use when I see how many I get. Thanks!

Hey everybody - hope you had a wonderful International Alopecia Day! Joanna Rowsell sure helped us celebrate by winning her Gold Medal that day! (see Cheryl's blog)

If anybody has any photos to send me to be included in the IAD video, please do so. You can post them on AlopeciaWorld or Facebook IAD Groups and let me know, or better yet, send them to me at this email address: internationalalopeciaday@gmail.com

Dear Mary,

i have a question. is any gift for winner? this is a competition?

we are about 130 peoples,!! from Iran. do you see our website?

Comment by Mary on August 7, 2012 at 3:13pm

Oh, no...there's no competition, and no prize. It's just individual people organizing events around the US and around the world and taking photos to share - raising awareness of alopecia, and having fun.

I did see your website - very nice!

Have you seen the videos from the previous years? Here's 2010 and 2011:
