For anyone living with or touched by alopecia
areata, you do not have to walk alone!
The National Alopecia Areata Foundation
is holding its first ever Walk For Alopecia
at Lake Merced in San Francisco on Saturday, September 30.
Festivities start at 8 a.m., and opening ceremonies begin at
9:45 a.m.
The Walk will bring the alopecia community together for support, hope, and
camaraderie to drive research for better treatments and a
cure,
increase support, advocate for change, and reduce stigma for
this autoimmune disease.
The San Francisco Walk For Alopecia will be a
fun, family-oriented event that will include music, food
trucks, kids’ area with games, face painting, bounce house
and more. There will also be a selfie station, refreshments
and a festive, leisurely 4-mile walk route around Lake
Merced with a 2-mile shortcut. The Walk For Alopecia will
be a wonderful gathering of support and camaraderie for
anyone touched by alopecia areata.
Registration is free and anyone that raises $200 will receive the
inaugural Walk For Alopecia T-shirt.
