Both Edwards and Kerry have them on. Is it a Secret Service thing?

7. Lance Armstrong-live strong braclets

I saw a story on these bracelets a couple of weeks ago. These braclets are being sponsored by Lance Armstrong. I think that they are called Live Strong. I think that the proceeds go to cancer research. Lance is an amazing story.

14. I wear one. It's awesome that Kerry and Edwards do, too.

My father and my aunt are both cancer survivors, so I think it's great that Lance Armstrong's foundation is getting so much money and publicity from all the people wearing these bracelets. Normally I never go along with the latest fad, but this one MEANS something.
