You really are amazing!

Alopecia World inspires far more people than those living with various types of alopecia.

I think about this every time I am approached by a non-alopecian who not only recommended the site to someone struggling with hair loss, but who also regularly visits AlopeciaWorld.com because they are deeply moved by what they see and learn from our beloved community.

Trust me -- I know the feeling.

As the husband of the alopecic and adorable co-founder of Alopecia World, Cheryl Carvery-Jones, I am educated and empowered daily by members' posts and profiles.

Indeed, this is an extraordinary world just teeming with people that are brilliant, bold, concerned, compassionate, entertaining, empathetic, loving, and even refreshingly liberating in their approaches to living with alopecia and promoting awareness of their condition.

Some of you are also destined for greatness as the ingenious minds behind new and innovative initiatives, projects, and publications designed to "transform the stigma into a distinction," as Sheila Jacobs wrote years ago in her book The Big Fall.

Therefore, please know that I applaud as well as appreciate you.

I even look up to you and get lifted up like the R&B singer Kem, whenever I am reminded or see how amazing you truly are.

I could never say it enough: I thank you from the inmost recesses of my being for your positive presence in Alopecia World; and even as someone who does not have alopecia, I am looking forward to continuing to grow (and glow!) with you!
