Livestrong.

Wear yellow. Livestrong. Support the fight against cancer. Some of you near the more metropolitan areas in the US may have seen these wristbands on a few folks around. I just FedEx’ed a bunch home today to my sister. So, if you are in Helena, get ahold of her and she’ll get you one. If not, click the wristband above and it’ll take you to the website where you can learn more about the Lance Armstrong Foundation, living with cancer, and how you can help fight cancer just by wearing a cool yellow wristband. It’s a good time to be wearing yellow and living strong watching Lance persue his 6th straight title.

Cancer is a vicious problem in the world. Treatments are getting better, but the people that have been through it, and are living with it today are the true heros amongst us. All of us have much going on. Work, school, stress, love, life. Imagine that with cancer. My grandma made it through breast cancer, which was the original reason I started wearing this wristband. I found out today my mom has skin cancer. Now I’ll wear two.

It seems sometimes the hardest things happen to the seemingly strongest people. Lance had won the Tour de France. Twice. Then he gets slapped with 3 different types of cancer. Maybe it’s in proportion to how ridiculously hardcore a person is. Win the Tour, you get 3. Be the best mom ever or grandma ever. You get it too. One thing I know is that I love my family. I love my grandma, and I love my mom. I couldn’t have asked for better people in my life growing up. My mom went through impossible obstacles many times over to make sure my sister and I were brought up right. I feel a deep, non-descript pain. It just doesn’t seem fair. But then again. That’s life.

Life may be full of obstacles. Your life may be overly busy and full of stress. But, remember those that now have to deal with an added obstacle. Support those that are working miracles to keep their energy within your life. Go by Niketown, buy a wristband for $1. Buy 10. Support those living with cancer. Support life. Livestrong.
