Campaign: | To help young people with alopecia to get support |
I developed alopecia at the age of seven. It’s a condition that makes your hair fall out.
When I was younger it didn’t really bother me, but I gradually became more conscious of it.
I remember going to the GP, who said that it was just one of those things and I wasn’t offered any support.
At school, the other children would ask “have you got cancer?” which made me feel quite low.
Now, I’ve embraced who I am and have been able to take control of my condition.
With Fixers, I’m working on a short animated film to raise awareness of alopecia and to help others find support.
Chairman Gareth Long and Co-Founder Stuart Long support my Fix. They agreed to be interviewed to appear in my TV film.
