Don't let a company profit, financially or morally, from cancer.
Huh?
Part of the Livestrong appeal is that you're showing your support out front and in the open. Often it's targetted. Sure, a jersey or wrist band isn't going to cure the disease, but the personal struggle with cancer is more than medical.
Money can go a long was in the research, but a shirt, jersey, cap, bumper sticker, mug or bracelet might just lets someone know I care.
