Today I cried

I read a story about a little girl in Mass. with Alopecia. Her cheerleading team and all the pop warner football team wore bandanas on their heads or a T on their helmets to support her during a fundraiser. One of the parents (a coach) and a player shaved their heads to support her.

I read this in the latest NAAF newsletter, and got teary-eyed. Then, I read it out loud to my husband and started sobbing. What an amazing group of people. It made me wish I had that kind of community support when I was first going through this.

Hi Stephanie

There are truly amazing supportive community and groups around in the society today. I believe the internet and the generation of information technology has made things easier and faster. Today, alopecia information and support are easily accessible but then conventional support like a hug from a friend is still much relevant now and the future. So take care and let us all make the world a better place.
