Extra! Extra! Breast Cancer Wrist Bands
Save Lives!
Trends: At best they can be impressive
and entertaining, at worst pointless and wasteful. But as of late,
there is a different type of trend sweeping across the US. People
everywhere are buying the
breast cancer wristband that raises
awareness and money for the fight against cancer. We don’t have
“the cure” yet, but we are developing more and more clever ways to
raise money and awareness toward achieving that end.
It is one of the best new fundraisers for
breast cancer and
for the Komen Foundation.
It's most likely the one you’ll see
everywhere. It really stands out in marvelous bubble gum pink, and
next to the yellow bracelet, it is the other most high profile
color of all the cancer bracelets. It is Pink because it is simply
the most appropriate color for a wristband symbolizing feminine
strength.
The breast cancer wristband is more than a
means to raise money and awareness, it is an emblem of caring––and
we as human beings are lucky to have such a splendid adornment
that is so economical that kids can afford to buy them too. And
they do, by the dozens! It’s only a few dollars, and if you get
all of your friends to buy one, you’ll actually be doing something
of brilliant value.
Ten people, ten dollars for charity, twenty people, twenty dollars
etc., and on and upward it goes. But make sure you are buying your
breast cancer wristband from a dealer that donates some of the
profits to a breast cancer research organization—or you can
re-sell them and donate the money yourself!
Target stores are one place to
buy them.
Breast Cancer is a difficult, often scary
reality for women, taking thousands of lives every year.
Conversely, the wristbands are ingeniously simple.
Just think it over for a moment: cancer feels senseless, and when
it strikes we strive to make sense of it. But often we feel
powerless to do anything. However, with these wrist bands
we CAN make a difference.
This little, seemingly innocuous thing, a small pink breast cancer
wristband is a wedge of possibility into the answer; the small cog
in the wheel of change that makes a difference! Any prospect that
can make that happen, to manifest the means to fund breast cancer
research, is something to get hold of––especially when it’s so
user-friendly! It truly is a no-brainer, so why would anyone shy
away from the possibility to help?
YOU can make a difference.
YOU can HELP!
This is more than a trend, this a giant
wave racing towards the future in the guise of a pink wristband and hopefully it will come crashing down soon,
washing away this unfortunate disease called cancer that has held
us in it’s fearful grip for so long.
Help for the scourge of breast cancer has
arrived in the simple form of a cute pink wristband ! Buy one or
twenty and tell everyone you know!!
