Rubber Cancer Bracelets - The Humble Tool That Raised Millions
Cancer is the second largest cause of death in America. Thousands die every year from the disease, yet no really effective cure has been found for it. Rubber cancer bracelets have contributed heavily to the cause of cancer research; millions from their sale have poured into the research labs where scientists are grappling with the disease.
It was the Lance Armstrong foundation that came up with the novel idea of selling rubber bracelets to support cancer research. These bracelets are called LiveStrong bracelets and are yellow in color. This foundation has now sold more than 52 million rubber cancer bracelets. Lance Armstrong, the inspiration behind this drive, is a cancer survivor and also a seven-time Tour de France champion. He wanted these bracelets to be a beacon of hope for the millions who were suffering from cancer.
Rubber cancer bracelets in pink color are worn in support of breast cancer patients. They are also widely popular today and often carry a variety of inspirational messages such as 'I will' or 'Love Hope Faith.' Whether you are a cancer survivor or just want to support the cause of cancer research, you can wear one of these bracelets.
The rubber bracelets are usually made of synthetic rubber or silicon gel. They are also popular gift items and keepsakes. You can also personalize your rubber cancer bracelets by adding embellishments to them. There are also variations to these cancer bracelets that come in
different materials and are accessorized using pearls or other semiprecious stones. Most often, the full proceeds from the sale of these bracelets go to the cancer foundations.
The rubber cancer bracelets not only provide financial support for cancer research, but are also a means for providing the mental support that the cancer victim needs. In many cases, close friends and family of the cancer patient sport these bracelets as a means for showing their moral and mental support. Many online discussion boards that provide those suffering from cancer a platform to share their experiences and to meet others in similar situations are supported by the sale of these rubber cancer bracelets. The rubber cancer bracelets drive for cancer research support has now spread worldwide.
Though the yellow live strong bracelets and the pink cancer bracelets are the most popular, rubber cancer bracelets in different colors supporting different causes are also available. However, it is difficult to color code these bracelets as various foundations promote different colors for the same cause.
