September is always my favorite month of the year... it's my birthday month, my mom's birthday month, and my dad's birthday month, so we always celebrate all month long. But September is also Alopecia Areata Awareness month. More than 5 million people in the US have Alopecia Areata and 3 million of us are under the age of 20. That's a lot of people just like me. And unfortunately, many of these kids are bullied and made fun of at school every day because they look different. Bows & Ballcaps is here to help encourage anyone who doesn't have hair to be confidant and ok looking different. Everybody is different. No one is the same… for good or bad. And I think not having hair makes you even more special, because God made you an extra special way for a reason. It’s just figuring out what to do with it. Please take time to visit www.naaf.org or type in alopecia in the search on facebook to learn a lot more about what others are doing to raise awareness for alopecia this month. And please tell others about Bows & Ballcaps. We've had over 1,200 visitors to my website and facebook site this first week. We are SOOO excited and getting ready for our first couple of visits. So keep passing the word. I love you all and can't say thank you enough for all of the messages, donations, love and support we have received this week. Love, Hannah!!
