Is anybody else wearing a LIVESTRONG band?

**maryellen** · 07-20-2004, 01:33 PM

yep, I got one as a prize in a spinning class last week!

A friend gave me one as a gift. That was nice!

Yep, I got mine volunteering at the Lance Armstrong Foundation booth at our local Corn Fest two weekends ago.

My stoker for the Cinderella ride raised 10 K last year and did the Ride for the Roses. This year she's doing more community outreach stuff.

It's pretty cool to help out. We got $500 in donations over the weekend. And I rode a trainer in a cow costume.

Both my son and I are wearing them...and he gave 2 that he won away! Our LBS did not have them until my son gave one to one of the mechanic's for helping him...now they are selling them! It's a GREAT thing...

I just received mine in the mail today. I bought a ten pack. They sold out at a recent bike race...so I missed out, but I went on the web and ordered 'em. How fitting I say since it would have been my grandma's birthday (77) this Sunday...she passed away from cancer in 2001. I think I will give one to my mom too and give some to others as well.

i ordered a 10-pack the first day they were available to order.. have been wearing one since they came in the mail!

**Steph_in_TX** · 07-21-2004, 10:16 AM

Yep, my family sports them. FYI if you've got skinny wrists the youth size fits well! We also do the Ride for the Roses. It's a great event.

I bought one a few weeks ago at my LBS, but made the mistake of not getting one for the rest of my family (!).

I'm home in Chicago now, and went to FIVE places yesterday trying to find them-- they were all sold out!!

my mom and i drove down to the Nike outlet store today, where they just ordered 8,000 more (they've sold 15,000 so far!)

I have seen so many people wearing them! it's so cool!! a friend of mine went to a "plain-clothes" play at UM, and all of the actors were wearing them. the salesguy at Eddie Bauer yesterday told me his mom wears one too

You bet....see my poem dedicated to Lance on this site.

Livestrong, love strong, ride strong!

I just ordered 10 online, but they're backordered until Mid-August.

How is the Ride? I just was reading about it, and it seems great. I wonder if they ever have them regionally. I would rather donate more money to the cause and ride locally, rather than paying for flying (me and bike...) and hotels, etc.

**betagirl** · 07-22-2004, 04:33 AM

I don't have one (yet) but am really happy about the whole foundation, and the number of peeps I do see wearing them. I think it's great.

I've been doing a fundraiser for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America, using RAGBRAI as my basis and have gotten about $5,000 together. What better (and more fun) way to raise money for charities than on our bikes

**snapdragen** · 07-22-2004, 02:58 PM

Who did you order them from? I ordered a bunch Monday night, they just arrived today. I went through the LAF store.
