I love the pics, can't wait to show my daughter. She is 6 and doesn't know anyone her age with alopecia. I'm not sure how or what we could do to help but hopefully you have some ideas for us.
This is a wonderful thing. I would love so much to do something like this here. I want to help others, especially kids and teens feel better about what is going on! good job!
Hi Jeff,
This camp sounds great! I'm sure the camp has changed many young alopecians lives for the better. I would have loved to be apart of camp like this while growing up with AA.
I recently have been trying to help young ones who suffer from diseases/illnesses. I currently volunteer as a camp counselor at Camp Okizu (childrens cancer camp)....as a matter of fact...I leave again this Saturday wahooo. It's really a special experience because you're not only surrounded by an amazing and inspiring group of kids...but the camp experience is awesome. I would love to be able to help bring this camping experience to young alopecians on the west coast. Is CAP located anywhere on the west coast? If not, then how can one go about starting a new chapter?

Hiyah Jeff & Betsy,
Thankyou so much for bringing the CAP crew up from PA to see the show. I can't tell you how moving it was for my cast to meet the kids. What an adorable group!
It would be great to find a way to get us down to Philly for a "run" in the fall. Much love to you guys!

Jeff,
It's a really great, what you're doing for children w/ AA. I am interested in being involved. I myself was diagnosed at 10 months, and lost it all at 5 years. I have recently started a support group here in Arizona, and one of my goals is to do something for the children. I have thought about doing a group just for kids. I would love your advice. I will look into the cap website to see how I can get involved. Do you have a directory of your members? Is anyone from Arizona?
Hey, just wanted to say I really like your organization. I have had alopecia since I was 3 and felt pretty alone growing up. You are really going to make these kids lives a whole lot better :)
If there is anything I can do to help I would love to, just let me know!!
A new chapter of the Children's Alopecia Project will be starting in the
