BTW, have you guys seen Mayo's glasses this year? They look like Orange Tortise Shell Oakley Racing Jackets, with clear lenses, I love the guy, but those have to go.........

Throw the stick!!!!
I ordered 10 the other day but found out later that I screwed up and bought the youth size. I'm going to have to find some kids to give them to. I guess the donation is more important than wearing the band anyway but just in case I just ordered another ten in the adult size.

I picked up 7 when I was at the Nike store on 57th in NYC. I wear mine 24/7 and my wife wears hers all the time too. My boys would wear theirs but their wrists are still too small for even the junior-sized ones! I even bought a Livestrong shirt. They only had XLs left on the shelves and in the back so I asked them to take off one from the mannequins as they were wearing larges. I read somewhere (I think on Sheryl Crow's website) that Nike is/was asking a lot of the people they sponsor if they'd support the cause too and a lot of them are agreeing. Also read that NIke had 6 million made, 1 million they gave away and 5 million they had already sold ( At the time of the article). Planning on making more I think. Like someone said earlier, we all know someone who has cancer or has suffered from it.
On a side note, I was at a local fair being held by my township and I was looking at the Red Cross tabel when I noticed the Red Cross lady had a band on as well. I showed her I had one too and we got to talking. She said she was so suppportive of Lance and that she had read 2 of his books. She also loves to ride her mountain bike and told me that she's even fallen about 6 times in the last month or so. Cool thing about it though? She's 80!!!!
