On Sunday 13 July ten of us will be running (or some approximation thereof) the British 10k in a bid to raise £10k for Alopecia UK.

I developed alopecia in early 2007, just a few months after turning 21. In the space of three months I went from a full head of hair with a tiny bald patch, to buying my first wig. Seven years and countless wigs later, it's something that I've learned to live with, accept, and sometimes even embrace - as those of you who have painted my head or endured me playing the "bald card" will be able to testify.

So raising money for Alopecia UK is a cause that's very close to my heart and I really appreciate your support - and your money - in helping us take the charity to the next level and do more to help those affected by alopecia.

You can find out more at http://www.alopeciaonline.org.uk/ or by talking to me!
