How many people wear them? Do they even exist where you are?
Over here they've become VERY popular, most places have sold out of them.

I think it was all started by Lance Armstrong's "livestrong" Yellow wristband to raise money to help fight cancer - http://www.laf.org

I wear a red one from the British Heart Foundation - http://www.bhf.org.uk

Others include:-

White - Make Poverty History - http://www.oxfam.org
Pink - Breast Cancer Awareness - http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/breastcancer/
Blue - Anti-bullying campaign - http://www.bbclic.com/
Black/White - Against Racism - http://www.nike.com/standupspeakup/...e.jsp?page=home

I thought I had a Wookie Awareness bracelet... but when I tried to take it off I realized it was just my fur.

They are very popular around here. Especially the Livestrong ones.

ROFL Aqua!

A guy I work with went to a seminar featuring Lance Armstrong. He was so impressed that he ordered the bracelet on the Web & it took months to arrive due to high demand.

What I like about wearing the one I do, is that people ask...because it's not one of the more common ones, and it gives me a chance to make them aware of how quickly the rates have been climbing.

I'm only familar with the livestrong ones... they cost $1 USD and all the profits go to Lance's Livestrong Foundation. I have one but don't wear it faithfully. I actually would really like a breast cancer one... and am on the lookout for one now... I've seen them at the drug stores but have been nervous about where the funds go with them as there isn't a sign indicating... I'm off to search now

I'll dig up the addy where I found mine. http://www.findthecure.us/store/

I beleive in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and I beleive in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. Kevin Costner/Bull Duram

"Your body as well as mine has needs. This is juat a little foreplay to highten our desire for each other. If we play out the game of love to it's natural conclusion, you'll experience fulfillment. Give yourself up to me and I'll guide you along the path to pareadise. Together we will be like fire and ice, love and hate, life and death." Virginia Henley

WANTED: a moment when you kiss someone and eveything around you becomes hazy. And the only thing in focus is you and this person and you relize that he is the only person your suppose to kiss for the rest of your life. And for one moment you get this amazing gift. You want to laugh and you want to cry. Cause you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared it will all go away at the same time.
