Jackie said, "We are especially interested of stories from adult sufferers of alopecia areata who were afflicted as children."
Their stories can offer encouragement to children who are going through difficult times right now. Each person who has this disease has a story to tell that
can provide helpful insights to those who are just beginning their journey in life with alopecia areata."
