Often, how other coworkers, friends, and/or family members react to Alopecia Areata is the most crucial factor in how well a person copes.
Ryan was affected with alopecia at the age of five.
According to Jeremy Fowler, an ESPN Staff Writer, “Ryan’s hair would fall out in patches, which kids in the stands at his football games would notice when he took off his helmet.
Ryan Shazier sustained a spinal injury in 2017 and has not played since, but with his agency, Creative Artists Agency, he has created an excellent platform to help kids cope with alopecia.
Thank you, Ryan, for being a positive role model to children diagnosed with Alopecia Areata, Totalis, and Universalis disease.
