Live Strong Wristband: Spread the Inspiration, Fight for the Cause

The live strong wristband – a powerful statement

The live strong wristband is one of the fastest growing trends in America today. But it’s not about fashion. Wearing the live strong wristband makes a powerful statement about the wearer. When you wear a live strong wristband you shout to the world –“I care.”

The live strong wristband grew out of famous cyclist Lance Armstrong’s struggle with cancer. Despite his battle with cancer, Lance Armstrong, with his ‘live strong’ motto, went on to become a six-time champion of the Tour de France.

Just as importantly, he started the Lance Armstrong Foundation, dedicated to helping those with cancer and cancer research, and began a hugely popular trend with the live strong wristband that supports one of the greatest threats facing people today. The Lance Armstrong Foundation and the live strong wristband support the power of positive thinking as a powerful tool in the battle against cancer and to live strong and healthy.
