    wear yellow

    Hey, all. I lost my grandmother to lung cancer in 1986. My brother fought leukemia when he was five, and, was through with treatment when he was ten. I just recently lost a friend, a truly remarkable man, to colon cancer. One of my closest friends is losing her mother to breast cancer as I type this. And, I've lost countless other friends and acquaintances to some kind of cancer. I've purchased thirty of these yellow wristbands, and, will purchase more as I can. Check out the site and see if it's something you're interested in contributing to. Peace.

    Thanks, Dogz!

    I've had lots of cancer in my family. Thanks for the link.

    glad y'all are checking out the link. it looks like a really good foundation and i'm hoping to get my wristbands soon! i may just do that for christmas presents this year. all of my family that i usually buy presents for would gladly forfeit the gifts knowing that the money went to a good cause. and, they could all get wristbands in their cards. sorry to hear that y'all have family going through cancer as well. it affects everyone, unfortunately.


    Thanks, Dogz!

    It's a fantastic cause.

    Lance Armstrong has done a lot to help others to fight cancer. I can't believe it's been seven years since he was diagnosed. I remember the news like it was yesterday.

    I highly recommend both his books for inspirational reading ... the Tour de France starts in just a few weeks

    Thanks for posting that link, I've been meaning to find it. It's a great foundation.

    It's amazing and sad how many people are living with cancer Last month a co-worker of mine passed away from Leukemia. It really does affect everyone.

    Thanks for the signature & avatar kfamr

    I'm thrilled that I was able to spread the word about these wristbands! I'm so glad y'all are donating! I knew I could count on some Pet Talkers! I'll take a pic of me wearing mine when I get it. I may even put one on Finn's collar or something. I'd buy a dog collar, too, if they sold them. Ha.


    Thanks, Dogz!

    The reason I walk Hucky, Darlene's dog, is because her husband has cancer. He has to have a 2 and a half hour drive every two weeks to get treatments. He only has a few months to live. I don't know what I'm going to do/say to Darlene once he goes...I know she'll be very sad and all those others words that describe loneliness that aren't coming to me right now
