To those who truly bought their bands with their money going to the cause and wear it for a reason that means something to them, thanks.
I have worn one without fail since they became available. I wore mine somewhat for vanity’s sake but more importantly to honor my father who has battled the effects of colon cancer for nearly three years. Yesterday (Sunday), I finally removed the Live Strong band that had adorned my wrist for so long and gently placed it on my father’s wrist shortly after he took his last breath at the young age of 72! Regardless of whether or not I am wearing a Live Strong Band, I will be riding in the LAF ‘Ride for the Roses’ as I have since its inception. This year though it will be more of struggle emotionally because this year, I will not only ride in honor of, but also in memory of my father.
Live Strong and god speed dad!
