Strides of Support

Join us for Strides of Support for Alopecia Areata, the second annual national fundraising and awareness walk hosted by the Canadian Alopecia Areata Foundation (CANAAF).

Taking place on Sunday, September 27, 2026, in Barrie, Ontario, at Sunnidale Park, this event brings together individuals, families, and communities in a united stride of support for those affected by alopecia areata, a chronic autoimmune condition that causes hair loss on the scalp, face, and body.

Help us raise critical funds for support programs, advocacy efforts, and educational initiatives, while also increasing visibility and understanding of this often misunderstood condition. Whether you're walking to support a loved one, raise awareness, or share your own journey, every step helps break stigma and build community.

How You Can Help:

• Register to walk in one of our 9 host cities
• Fundraise individually or as a team
• Share your story and help amplify awareness nationwide

Together, we are making strides toward a more informed, inclusive, and supportive future for all Canadians living with alopecia areata.
