Why Alopecia UK

"My mum has had alopecia universalis for 35+ years. There was little or no support for her when she suddenly lost her hair, and no signposting to information and help. I remember how devastated she was and how her confidence was knocked; she really struggled for a long time about being seen in public, at work or socially, and got upset by people's thoughtless comments. I watched my strong, independent, talented mum lose her confidence for a while. 

I was incredibly excited when Alopecia UK sought a fundraiser; it brings together my experience and allows me to support an organisation that helps so many people who feel like my mum did."
