Story

I am very proud to be running with Team Alopecia UK to raise much needed funds to help its important work in providing support to those with alopecia and to raise awareness of the condition.  Alopecia is a hair loss disease that affects men, women and children.  The onset is often sudden, random and frequently recurrent.  Although not damaging to physical health, alopecia can have severe effects on quality of life and emotional health through its impact on confidence and self-esteem. There is currently no known curre.

It will be two years in July since I lost all my hair, which was a devastating experience. The support I received from Alopecia UK was invaluable in helping me come to terms and cope with the condition.  Since becoming involved with the charity as a Trustee I have realised how important it is to meet and support others with alopecia.

Alopecia UK is a growing charity and has huge aspirations for the future. It receives very little external funding and so relies heavily on donations and fundraising activities.  Please support us to improve the lives of those affected by alopecia.
