This is Charlotte Ollivier Adamson, the reason for this web site and foundation. This is our brave little girl who has always been full of joy and laughter. Alopecia took that away from us for a short period and this photo shows Char days after receiving her first wig, from Freedom wigs.

The smile on her face and joy in her eyes will always remind us that hair or no hair she still is our little Charlotte, Alopecia is just a part of who she is.

With the Ball only 12 weeks away and emotions running thick and thin, Char felt the time is now that she shows the world her inner strength has grown so much in the past months, its given her the confidence to do this...

I said to Char "What would you like to do with this photo?" She said, "Put it on the site. I don't really want to Dad but everyone will think I'm brave".

Bec and I can't be more proud of our little girl, as we all know this condition changes our lives and everyone's around us, but we are starting to see great signs of strength.

I need to thank you all, as I feel our meetings have given her the strength to grow with everyone's support, I hope its done the same for you.

I need to mention Concilia from NZ, I received an e-mail from her after viewing Anna and Libby's story. Her daughter Wadzie lost her hair at 3 and is now 15. They have had a very tough time and the foundation has given them both a place to express their emotions. We are all grateful that you shared this with us and we all welcome you and encourage you to talk more about things as you feel the need to.

Thank you to Gary and Anna who made contact with Concilia, she was very grateful, and members, this is what the site is all about.

Trish has a great story published by a doctor and we hope to post this story soon.

Tanya has designed an amazing logo for the Princess Charlotte Alopecia Foundation.

Please all keep your eyes and ears out for auction items for the ball, every bit helps.

Take care, all let me know if you need tickets for the ball.
