Why Breast Cancer Bracelets?

By June Smith


Breast cancer has touched the lives of millions of ladies, and has most likely touched your life too , be it directly or through a good friend or relative. In its simplest explanation, cancer is an overgrowth of cells which form a growth. These tumors will either put pressure onto vital organs or break away from their primary site and invade other body organs causing severe health issues in all cases.

If you've been affected or have a loved one who has been impacted by the disease, let them know about alternative treatments and the way to heal the body from the inside out with exercise, correct food nutrition and life changes.

History of the Breast Cancer Bracelet

It started in 2004 when Lance Armstrong, a cancer survivor himself, decided to wear a bright yellow rubber wristband during his Tour de France competition. He knew how dynamic symbols may be, and decided to use his recognition and worldwide exposure (he is the most successful Tour de France rider in history) to draw attention to the growing cancer epidemic and need for a cure.

So back in 2004, the Lance Armstrong Foundation came out with the famous yellow LiveStrong bracelets and sold them for $1 each utilising the cash to back cancer research. They were an instant hit and sold over 50 million bracelets by 2005.

Since then, the small rubber and silicone bracelets have become omnipresent, coming in all different colors and representing pretty much every kind of cancer. They also are known to designate various diseases and even social and political causes too. These rubber breast cancer awareness bracelets are worn by survivors, those undergoing treatment, their friends, general supporters and noted celebrities. They also make great gifts to show your support and motivation for a family member currently battling with the disease or who has successfully conquered it.

Why Choose A Breast Cancer Bracelet?

Breast cancer wristbands are a fast method to show support for the cause, let others know that you are concerned about uncovering a cure and need to raise consideration for the cause. The actual reason for the bracelets (a.k.a. Pink ribbon bracelets) is to draw attention to the cause and help fund research of breast cancer treatments, prevention and cures.

Some of the people might criticize the effort saying that it's all just clever selling. Particularly with all the pink products on the market today. But it is straightforward symbols like these that allow the general public consciousness to rally around an idea, bring it to the forefront and allow everyday people to participate in moving the cause forward on a big scale.

Who Wears Breast Cancer Awareness Bangles

Every kind of folk wear the breast cancer bangles? Boys, girls, heck, even men wear pink and with the selection of bands available, you can wear them in casual and professional settings and to black tie galas. You can choose breast cancer bangles which can often be customized to match your organization's precise message or event slogan.

Breast Cancer Associations

These unique wristbands can be sold at your next fundraising event for your support network, for funding cancer research or can simply be given away to increase appreciation of the cause. The opportunities are actually endless. Lots of breast cancer associations give away or sell breast cancer wristbands at their awareness events.

Different Sorts of Breast Cancer Bracelets

Since the pink rubber breast cancer bracelet was so favored, this has led on to a selection of other types of pink ribbon bracelets to become available. We are able to now show our support in pink ribbon wristbands made from beads, gold, silver, leather wire, individual charms and fine crystals. Naturally, they are costlier than the rubber wristbands, but in all cases much of the proceeds from the sale of these bracelets help fund breast cancer organisations and research. So breast cancer bracelets are truly a guilt-free purchase because the more you buy, the more support you give.
