But for those who are not immediately affected by cancer, do you wear the wristband because it is popular or are you aware of and support the cause behind LAF. I'm just curious.
yes i am aware of LAF and their causes... i try to educated people as much as possible when they thought it's just a yellow rubber band. my aunt, whom is a 2 time breast cancer survivor, like many other cancer patients/ survivors are the reasons why i wear my LA band. i just wish more people will come to realized it more that this is not a fashion statement or a bandwagon thing in rooting for LA's win of the 6th. we need everyone whom wears it to educated everyone else around them about it.
just my 2 cents,
