It is an honour to serve as CANAAF’s President. Connecting with many supportive individuals during CANAAF events & conferences has helped us tremendously in our journey with my daughter’s alopecia. I will do my best to help CANAAF grow as an organization.

My daughter was diagnosed with Alopecia in 2003. I joined the CANAAF Board to support other parents struggling to help their children live with this disease. I hope that I can help your family as CANAAF has helped mine.

Hello! I first developed Alopecia Areata when I was 22 years old and have been wearing wigs ever since. I am honoured to be on the CANAAF Board to help spread awareness about Alopecia and hopefully connect others to the foundation.

I’ve had patchy alopecia since age 16. I wish I had a resource like CANAAF when I was first diagnosed! Through this role, I hope I can help other alopecians find support and community in their journey.
