Welcome to this episode of Alopecia Life. Our next guest is Ava Hanssen. I first heard about Ava when the Children's Alopecia Project reached out to say thank you for featuring them on her race car. Her racing background is super interesting, and after hearing more about who she is and what she wants to accomplish in the racing world, I thought you would all be excited to hear more about her racing, especially if you're like me and have a fairly limited bit of knowledge around the racing world. Ava started racing go karts at 4 years old, and her competitive nature now has her racing an F1600 going upwards of 130mph at the age of 14. Here's more from Ava.


Thank you for sharing your time with Ava and me.To learn more about Ava, follow her on social media, and even perhaps offer sponsorship for her racing endeavors, please check out those links here in the show notes. Her racing accomplishments are pretty impressive.Thanks again to Ava for raising awareness for the Children's Alopecia Project.
