It really is a worthwhile cause. I bought ten. And, as a cancer survivor, i'll wear mine proudly! :)

being that we're on a 4500mi ride to raise money for the American Cancer Society (as of now, we're donating at least $100,000), i thought it'd be a good idea to buy one. about half of us (11) have them.

while on the topic, i went to a shop in Eureka, CA the other day, Henderson Center Bicycles, and was talking to a man who worked there who told me that his daughter was 6 weeks away from dieing from cancer. doing this ride didn't really hit me till he told me that.

Dood! I didn't know you're a survivor! I just bought ten myself! I work with 2 women that survived cancer.

How's things?

A dude told us Saturday that he gave his up for his "first wake up next to someone and couldn't remember her name" chick since his divorce. Funny story.

PM me a mailing address and you can have one free. I'll toss it in the mail tonight when I go to the post office.

I bought a 10-pack and have been giving a few out here and there.

*I took mine off a while ago, because it became a fashion statement, instead of a way of supporting cancer victims.*

Wore it until it became trendy and then took it off..... kind of like the goatee. :devil:

I still support cancer research, but I don't care if other people know it or not.

I still wear mine, though not every day. I think it's odd that now they seem to have bracelets to support every cause, not that I'm against this support, but it seems like some people pile a bunch on their wrists just becuase they're cool colors and not for what they stand for.

donate money, recieve bracelet, bracelet remains unworn. Honestly I'd sport it if it didnt become such a fad...I support the research and of course cycling.

I wore mine for a long time... then when they got so popular I quit wearing it (still donating to the foundation though). I've recently started wearing it again. Yesterday my daughter (3 years old) found hers and was wearing it around the house... for the first time since we got them, I had mine on, my wife had hers on, and my daughter had hers on.

Now I gotta get one for my son... I wonder if they make infant sized ones...

I have one. I will gang up next weekend with your beers and a bracelet. I bought some at Foley's a while back. Mine has been rolling since the Tour last year. Never had it off.
