Welcome to this special bonus episode with Mary Marshall. Many of our listeners will know Mary from her awareness work by starting International Alopecia Day aka IAD back in 2010. What started out with 8 countries contributing photos from their day of celebration, has grown to include over 41 countries in 2019. 

We know this year will be very different from past years of celebration with our support groups, but this one is a great opportunity to celebrate in big ways with our loved ones who are our biggest supporters while practicing social distancing. It would be awesome to surpass the 41 countries and show Mary how much this day means to all of us.

All the links to FB pages for the International Alopecia Community page, the Bald Mannequin Project, and the YouTube videos are included here in the show notes, along with the email address that goes directly to Mary. Please make sure to submit your photos from August 1-15th to be included and to follow those pointers that Mary shared (casual photos with a sign saying IAD 2020 and your city and country name). Thank you again Mary for putting a special day on the calendar just for us.
