Alopecia & Cancer Survivor Charity Surf Camp in North Carolina Presented by WB Surf Camp Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition that results in hair loss on the scalp and can progress to complete hair loss throughout the body. To date there is no cure for this condition and it affects over 5 million people alone in the United States. Although Alopecia Areata is not life threatening, it is definitely life altering to the people and families affected. Alopecia
Areata and Cancer patients often have hair loss in common. Many people
undergoing cancer treatment will lose their hair, so not only do they have
to fight for their lives but they also have to deal with the psychological
and emotional trauma of losing their hair.
Rick Civelli surfing ~ building community, raising awareness, and having fun! The founder of WB Surf Camp (www.WBSurfCamp.com), Rick Civelli, was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata when he was 17 and has shaved his head most every day since. “I lost the majority of my head hair in less then a week, so I just shaved my head because as a surfer, I had to get into the ocean to surf. I want to share my passion of surfing and the amazing confidence building and healing powers of the ocean with others affected by Alopecia and bring a smile to their face. If I was not a surfer, I’m not sure how I would have dealt with it,” says Rick. The Aloha Charity Surf Camp sessions were developed to share the amazing art of surfing with those who need to be touched by the healing powers of the ocean. These sessions also honor those who have had a positive impact on our community, including teachers and mothers. The camps are offered free of charge with personalized 3:1 student to instructor coaching and professional surf instruction. The Aloha Camp for Alopecia & Cancer Survivors hopes to be an incredible and memorable day with fellowship and lots of sunscreen!
