Alopecia pride

Listen to the item

Last week, 11-year-old Kris, who has alopecia, explained what it was like for a boy of his age to cope with losing his hair.

Laura Peters heard Kris' story and immediately got in touch with us.  Laura, a 23-year-old graduate, works as a legal secretary in south Devon.  She's planning to head off to law school this autumn. She also has alopecia 

Laura discusses with Tom some of the surprising benefits of a hairfree existence.
