Listen now to Michelle Chapman talking to Heart Radio about the upcoming BeBold Alopecia Summer Camp.

 

Jelly Roll Jazz Band, who consist of Laurence Marshall, Jacob Eves, Mark Fortnum and Dan Wackett, have kindly offered to play a set on Saturday evening at the Alopecia Camp. A very nice gesture indeed. Thanks guys!

 

On Saturday 8th May 2010 seventeen youngsters aged from 6 to 18 were put through the paces to produce a BeBold awareness video presenting the condition alopecia. The group consisted of 3 alopecia sufferers, two of which are alopecia totallis, and their closest friends who have provided the support and comfort to their friends over the last few years.

 

They were put to the test by a professional team of dancers from Dance in Education, a company that uses dance to motivate and stimulate youngsters. The team consisted of professional street/break dancers and two professional dancers who trained the youngsters intensively for a professional film shoot on the day. The dancers were amazing and have provided a very visual powerful performance showing how confidence and support can help assist children come to terms with a life changing condition.
