I am continually impressed by members' willingness to share their struggles, triumphs and insights -- especially since it takes real courage not only to reach out for help, but to also reach back with help.

I see this all the time in Alopecia World and, trust me, I realize as much as anyone that it's this very kind of openness that makes our beloved community so strong and appealing to alopecians from all over the world.

I could never thank each of you enough for your invaluable contributions to Alopecia World, but I assure you that I will always try.

Because of this web site, yesterday was a milestone marker for me. I went to my eye dr. and
he commented how pretty my hair was and I blurted out--it's a wig--I have Alopecia. He said
he would never have known and he said I'm looking thru a microscope. Before I discovered this
web site, I would never have admitted--especially to my eye dr.--that I was wearing a wig. Thanks to all the members who have helped me realize that I am not in this alone.

Without the support of this site I would never be so open about my alopecia today or embarking in all that I'm doing to bring awareness to this disease. I wish there was such a site when I was a kid but so grateful that its here today all those newly diagnosed with alopecia
Thank you alopecia world

I would like to thank you and Cheryl, this site gave me the courage to accept my Alopecia. I joined the day I decided to shave what remained of my hair and Cheryl was there for me in an instant! I went out the door for the first time as a bald woman and it's all because I saw so many beautiful bald women on this site and realized I could do it too!
