Makayla Krenzel, 10, is proud to be bald.
The grade five Kelowna student has an autoimmune disease called Alopecia Areata, which causes her hair to fall out.
“Little kids would say ‘there’s the bald girl,’ I’d would get it a lot,” said Makayla.
But she didn’t let it bother her. Instead, she decided to educate her classmates about her disease and gave a presentation in front of fellow students at Aberdeen Hall on Monday morning.
