Meet the Visionary Behind Bald Big Brother – Triple B

For Me It Started before I remember. I have seen the pictures of my hair, but I actually do not remember a time when I had hair.

As the story goes, my first spot happened before my first birthday. After the local doctors had their suspicions my parents eventually took me to University of Minnesota to Dr. Maria Hordinsky for my official diagnosis.

I had one shed/growth/shed before my parents shaved my head bald before my Third Birthday… and other than a few fuzzes here or there, it has never grown back.

I am here today, trying to show other kids/teens that life can move forward in positive ways even though we may look different than most people in our circles.

My name is Brogan Borst and I will graduate Culver Military Academy June 2025, and I am looking to help others while I help myself in this journey of dealing with alopecia.

“I have had Alopecia since I was a baby.  First, it was patchy, then I lost all my hair when I was 3.  Now I don’t have hair, eyebrows or eyelashes.  I sometimes don’t like that I have Alopecia because kids make fun of me and call me weird.  I don’t want people to see that I don’t have hair, which is why I wear a skull cap most of the time.”
