Breast cancer bracelets have helped create an awareness of this disease which is afflicting millions of women. These days charities that have recognized the need to create awareness among people about breast cancer have come up with this transparent idea of letting us know that cancer is a disease which if it strikes your breasts can put your confidence completely out of gear. I heard a woman the other day telling the doctor “Don’t diagnose me with this dreaded thing. I don’t want to lose one of my breasts and wear a falsie”.
Breast cancer bracelets rubber, are ranked, I am told only next to Armstrong’s cancer bracelets for men, in generating both funds and awareness. But unlike the LIVESTRONG bracelets introduced by Armstrong, breast cancer awareness bracelets come in different colors, so if you see pink breast cancer bracelets, don’t be surprised, because the pink color has become the most opted for color for cancer bracelets. These bracelets are cheap but have immensely helped not only raising awareness among people but also raising funds for charity.
Breast cancer bracelets bulk is planned as a campaign to convey our solidarity with women suffering from the agony of this disease. I was horrified to find that one out of every eight females in US is prone to get breast cancer in their early years. Moreover it is women from low income groups who are becoming victims of this disease. I saw the other day, a sort of campaign with the pink breast cancer bracelets. I noticed that every bracelet had a different slogan on it, like “support, knowledge and strength” or “early detection saves life”. You will definitely agree with me when I saw more than the comfort the treatment gives, such solidarity expressed in great style helps women regain their confidence.
Have you ever thought whey the pink color was chosen for these campaign bracelets? Here’s a small anecdote I want to share with you. It is about Charlotte Halley, 68, who was preparing and distributing ribbons which had card reading: “Only 5% of 1.8 billion dollars, the yearly budget of The National Cancer goes for cancer prevention. Wear this ribbon to wake up America to notice Breast Cancer staring at us”! I was saddened later to learn that Haley’s sister, daughter apart from grandmother were all victims of breast cancer. Haley’s ribbon was tried first for creating awareness of breast cancer, but magazines like “Self” thought it appeared downright commercial, and introduced the pink color cancer awareness bracelets, since pink is a color which women like.
Breast cancer bracelets need not be always in rubber, you can opt for metals or pearls instead. There are also breast cancer bracelets for men made of stainless steel. I found that they were different only in price, even as the rubber ones cost you a dollar, but the pearls ones can be anything about 30 dollars, but both of them do the same thing: create awareness of cancer. The breast cancer bracelets in rubber, I was told, can be made in any color and obviously this cannot be done with pearls. Wear one of this, like I do, and create awareness of this dreaded disease.
