Wristbands Most Popular Breast Cancer Fundraiser

October is breast cancer awareness month. This is your chance to do something. There are endless fund-raisers in support of a breast cancer cure. Walks, runs, bake sales - you name it. There are dozens of websites on the internet, full of fund-raising ideas. Those same websites have internet stores with supportive items you can buy. The money you spend to buy these items goes towards breast cancer research.
The most popular items include pink ribbon car magnets and pink rubber bracelets. These pink rubber bracelets are a popular and convenient way to spread breast cancer awareness.
Slip it on and make your statement. No, I’m not just wearing pink for the hell of it. These bracelets tend to be cheap - what’s one or two dollars to you? Be open about supporting breast cancer. I find when you wear a cancer bracelet, you tend to see others with the same bracelet, or with different bracelets in support for cures of other cancers.

Can Bracelets Help Stop the Killing?

A thick afternoon fog enveloped the trees and streetlights of The Hague, a placid city built along canals, a city of art galleries, clothing boutiques, Vermeers and Eschers. It is not for these old European boulevards, however, that The Hague figures in the minds of men and women in places as far apart as Uganda, Sarajevo and now Sudan. Rather, it symbolizes the possibility of some justice in the world, when the state has collapsed or turned into an instrument of terror. The Hague has long been home to the International Court of Justice (or World Court), a legal arm of the United Nations, which adjudicates disputes between states. During the Balkan wars, a tribunal was set up here for Yugoslavia; it has since brought cases against 161 individuals. It was trying Slobodan Milosevic — the first genocide case brought against a former head of state — until his unexpected death last month. And now the International Criminal Court has begun its investigations into the mass murders and crimes against humanity that have been committed, and are still taking place, in the Darfur region of Sudan.
