Episode 35- Alopecia Advocacy with NAAF's Gary Sherwood

"
It's been told to me so many times.  Women will say to me 'oh it's harder for me, men have it easy, because they can just go bald and it's not a big deal.'  And I have to correct them.  I say I've talked to enough men who have this disease, who have a lot of issues,  just as much as (women).  It's not easy for anyone, the gender doesn't matter.  It's really (about) the person."

On this episode of Alopecia Connection, Frank and Tommy are pleased to welcome Gary Sherwood, Communication Director of the National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF)!  Gary shares the history of NAAF, the organization's legislative advocacy, and answers questions on the upcoming 39th annual NAAF Conference, which will be held in Washington DC, June 27-30th!  Between this meeting, informational webinars, local support groups,  and fundraising walks, there's so many different ways YOU can get involved with NAAF!
