    Cancer Bracelets

    They are very popular around here and the Relay for Life also makes and sells them.

    They are made from Crystals or Cat's eyes and it has the different colours for different Cancers.

    Crystal-Lung
    PUrple- Pancreatic
    Orange-Leukemia
    Gold-Childhood
    Royal-Colon
    Peach-Uterine
    Teal-Cervical/Ovarian
    Pink-Breast
    Emerald-Lymphoma
    Violet-all other cancers
    Black-Melanoma
    Light Blue- Prostate
    Red- Multi Myeloma
    Gray- Brain

    They are really cool bracelets.... have you ever seen them around?

    WAIT! Before ANYONE responds, seek clarification that she is actually asking for your opinion.

    Get a grip.

    It's not an opinion if I am asking if anyone has seen them. it's a YES or NO question.

    Are you going to p!ss and moan about cancer bracelets now? I'm sure they offend you in some way.

    Stop being a grump and move on.

    Yeah it's kind of like that except in all the different colors for the different kinds of Cancer.... but many people will choose one color for a specific cancer and make a bracelet like the one above.

    We had a first friday event at the store and the customers bought Cancer kits to make and proceeds went to Relay for Life. It was a really popular event. We also made breast cancer bracelet kits.

    But i have never heard of the multi cancer bracelets before until I moved here and almost everyone has one.

    These have been around for years. I wear a pink one as a breast cancer survivor. Lance Armstrong started it with the yellow bracelets for whatever cancer he had (I forget). You can get a whole selection of them here:

    it has all the different ones in one bracelet. I think they are really neat and I have never seen them before until just recently.

    Is Relay for Life out where any of you are from or no?

    I think its a great way to honor someone who has succumbed to cancer or to show your support for someone who is battling cancer.
    don't breed or buy while shelter dogs die....

    I have been frosted!

    Thanks Kfamr for the signature!

    Yes that is the intention of the bracelet and they sell them to raise money for cancer awareness.... so it's kinda nice.
