What a great guy. Anyone who has been through this diagnosis knows exactly what Charlie and his family have gone through in terms of heartache and loss and a difficult process of acceptance. It is so wonderful that he is sharing his strength and candor with children and adolescents who are diagnosed with a disease that changes appearance and is therefore not a silent or hidden disease. God bless Charlie and the kids who walk out their doors each day, facing a world too concerned with appearance.
Great thing you’re doing! Love it!!
charlie, welcome to detroit, you’re one hell of a person and we’re happy to have you here
iam brave that god made me different from the other people!!!!!!you must anderstand that this is a gift!and fuck those that dont accept you…they are jealous
do you know expensive wigs are? Not to mention – when you have to wear them every day- they don’t last long. If you take really, really good care of the wig- you might have it for 5-6 months.
Can’t get fake eyebrows – that look real.
It is so wonderful that Charlie is doing this. When I was young- i didn’t see anyone else like me- it’s very lonely thinking you are the only one and there is no one that understands.
seriously, cant these guys get fake hair and eyebrows? That can’t be too expensive. A lot of people who are balding use wigs so whats wrong with that??
Charlie,
I look up to you!
I am going to an Alopecia thing in Philly on Thursday!
Charlie, you are a true role model. My 10 year old son who has had Alopecia Totalis since he was 2 loves you and we all look up to you and respect you for what you do to raise awareness. We can’t wait to see you again at the Meet and Greet on April 2 when you take on our Sixers. Best of luck to you always.
very good role model
