Livestrong Wrist Band

[Yarisboy]

If you're not aware, it's Lance Armstrong (super human cyclist, check tour de france) and his cancer foundation.

Any profits go towards the cancer foundation.

Just wondered if anyone here has one.

[BLOODUK]

Nope

[~Rach~]

No, but I do have one of the blue anti bullying ones from the BBC :)

[Chappers]

Seen sooo many people wearing these as a 'trend' rather than supporting the foundation..

Suppose the foundation still profits, so it's all good.

[Yarisboy]

I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that they've become a 'trend' ...

as you quite rightly point out, it all helps to raise the profile of the cause :)

Lance Armstrong is a hero, nearly died from cancer then came back to being arguably the best cyclist in the world.

It's nice that he's got this foundation, and I believe nike are trying to raise £5million for the fund too.

Yeah I wear one

Bought 20 from the official site in november, gave them to friends and family.

All to a good cause

Rich bought a load from the site and wears his all the time - tbh I didnt even realise what they were and what they meant til now!

I do have one, but I dont wear it - so from now on I will be doing so!

Didn't even know about this organisation, but as my Mam has just been diagnosed with breast cancer, thanks for pointing it out Sam, appreciate it.

Sorry to hear about your Mum Daz - I hope she gets better soon :group-cuddles:

[DazH]

Thanks, she will don't you worry

[Ryan1985]

Yeah I've got many livestrong wrist bands, usually wear the white 1!

Don't wear the pink 1 much!

And as you say Sam, all for a good cause, thats why I bought so many!

[~Rach~]

Theres so many cancer charities now that its hard when you cant donate to all of them. I did consider getting one from eBay, but you can never quite tell if they will donate the full amount or not to the cause :(

Instead I donate every month to Cancer Research & Macmillan (as my mum and my stepmum have both passed away from cancer) and they were a fantastic help to us throughout it all, so I know my money is going to be used very very well :)

Correct me if I'm wrong but are they those yellow wrist bands? I have seen quite a few people wearing them on my travels. I was always wondering what they are. So now i know :D

Yeah they are yellow, but come in loads of colours now, including rainbow :D
