Yellow Bracelets
I finally got one. Those yellow things you see wrapped around people's arms. The LiveStrong bracelets. And even at this late stage, people are asking me what they are and how do I get one?
What is the LiveStrong bracelet?
Lance Armstrong, famous cyclist and winner of the five Tour de France championship titles, was diagnosed with cancer three years prior to his first title. While he was being treated for cancer, he created the Lance Armstrong Foundation, whose mission is to help people with cancer around the world get the practial information and tools they need to “live strong&rdquo (hence the name: LIVESTRONG).How do I get a LiveStrong armband?
You donate $1 to the Lance Armstrong Foundation.Where do I get a LiveStrong armband?
The best place is right from the LAF Store. Of course, you have to buy in increments of 10 or more, so it's best that you join with a friend and get one.There's a Red AIDS Awareness bracelet, but I've yet to determine who's making it, or where the money goes. Plus it just seems too much like a knock-off. No, I prefer the original.
I just wish my wrist wasn't so tiny:
