Livestrong

Lance Armstrong's foundation LAF started selling Livestrong wristbands and other memorabilia two years ago. Since then 55 million people all over the world have worn the Livestrong wristband. I'm amazed at how many of them I see. I've seen them on affluent people; Senator Kerry, President Bush, famous athletes, movie stars and doctors. Then on the other hand I've also seen them on poor people. Cancer doesn't care if you're white, black, rich or poor, it affects everyone in the world one way or another. I wear my Livestrong to honor my brother Mark who passed away from Brain cancer. I also wear my Livestrong to give hope to family members, friends or complete strangers that someday a cure for cancer will be found. May 17th is wear Livestrong day, so if you have a Livestrong wristband or t-shirt wear it proud to support and honor those that have won or lost the battle with cancer.

  • I'll be wearing my Livestrong bracelet on May 17th...then again, I pretty much haven't taken mine off in 2 years anyway :)I love that you see them on all walks of life. You are so right that cancer affects everyone.
