Latimar first revealed she was suffering from Alopecia in an article that appeared in Women's Health.

She said it began when she was 12.

Alopecia is an autoimmune condition that attacks hair follicles.

Latimar decided to forgo her wig on December 9 for Alopecia Awareness and the teams 'My Cause My Boots' platform to highlight causes such as this.
