I am so excited for competitions to begin. We have started working on our routine preparation for our first competition in May. Our upcoming competitions are at different locations to my home gym and I am looking forward to spreading awareness of Alopecia at all the gyms we go to for our competitions.

I was so proud when Gym NSW recently published an article about my brother and me having Alopecia and being sponsored by AAAF. I was even prouder when the amazing Breanna Scott, commonwealth Women’s Gymnast came to see me at my gym after reading the article where I mentioned I aspired to be just like her. If it wasn’t for the AAAF sponsorship this would not have happened and I am so honoured to be sponsored.

I have so many competitions to look forward to this year and then can’t wait for State Trials. To make it through to state would mean the world to me and knowing I have AAAF helping me get there is amazing. My hair is growing again at the moment which is amazing but my brother has fallen out again and being there to support him is important to me. We are lucky to have one another to support us through the Alopecia roller coaster.

The AAAF camp is coming up, I went last year and made some of the best friends, knowing the AAAF gives us these opportunities is amazing, having their support really helps me feel not so alone.

I can’t wait to share with you my achievements even though just going out there on the floor and competing to the best of my ability whilst having Alopecia is a huge achievement on its own.
