Meet Kayleigh (Kay)...
Kay has had Alopecia Areata since the age of 11 and lost all of the hair on her head at 20. Talking to her, she says that since she was very young she's always had a penchant for tattoos and piercings and has quite a collection of them.
One of her hobbies (awesomely) is playing the glockenspiel in a marching jazz band (which she's done for around 14 years) and when she was about 15 years old she became Northern and World Champion!
After conquering Mount Kilimanjaro last year and raising over £4,000 for Marie Curie Cancer Care, she is now training to take part in the Great North Run in September and in doing so, raising as much money as possible for Alopecia UK! Well done to Kayleigh and she'll be posting her first blog very soon! In the meantime, we'll make sure to post a link to her sponsorship page so everyone can get behind her Great North Run! I can safely say I'd rather you than me Kayleigh, but well done!
Before we go, here's Kayleigh's favourite picture of herself...
