Head Shave 2015 for Alopecia Areata
Head Shave 2015 for Alopecia Areata
Story
The Australia Alopecia Areata Foundation (AAAF) is the peak body for providing support to sufferers and their families, creating awareness about Alopecia Areata in all its forms and funding research toward a cure or acceptable treatment.
The AAAF runs entirely on the work of volunteers, and 100% of money raised goes towards realising our mission.
My family, like many others, has been impacted by Alopecia Areata, and I am very focused on finding a cure and providing support for sufferers and their families.
To coincide with International Alopecia Awareness Day 2015 (August 1), and to raise much needed funding towards support, awareness and research for a cure, a team is being assembled to lose the locks for AAAF.
Shaving one's head is very symbolic. It shows empathy toward sufferers and creates awareness.
Hopefully we raise plenty of money which helps provide support to people with Alopecia and their families and importantly helps fund research that moves us ever closer to a cure or acceptable treatment.
Thankyou to those who have joined the team.
Thanks also for taking the time to read this and for considering sponsoring our team or individuals within the team. Note to support my fundraiser just donate to the Team.
If you are unable to support us financially, I stiill really appreciate you taking the time to read this and finding out more about our organisation and our mission.
