One of the most popular categories of breast cancer bracelets every year, the pink ribbon rubber wristband, is fashioned after the ever popular Lance Armstrong “LIVESTRONG” yellow rubber wristband. When it comes to breast cancer awareness bracelets, there is no single saying or singular motivational statement, or one celebrity face quite like Lance Armstrong, who embodies the fight quite at the same level that the yellow Livestrong band does.

Singer / songwriter Melissa Etheridge has been one of the most recognizable celebrity faces in the battle against breast cancer, particularly since enduring her own battle with the disease, being diagnosed in October 2004.
Ever since then, she’s lent her name and musical talents to a variety of breast cancer awareness fundraising efforts and charities.
As you can see on the right side of the page, I actively use twitter, or tweet, to let my followers know about popular breast cancer awareness merchanise, fundraisers, celebrity cancer charities and news related to breast cancer research.
During October 2009 National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, you too can use the service to spread the word about fundraising efforts and raise awareness at the same time. Here’s how:
Bearing the name of the popular actor, Patrick Dempsey, the Dempsey Center for Hope & Healing in Lewiston, Maine is a support center for cancer patients and their caregivers, which is run in part by coordinator Mary Dempsey, Patrick’s sister. Mary and Patrick Dempsey, natives of Lewiston, started this center as their mother has battled cancer three times and is a strong survivor.
Mary Dempsey and the staff at the center were an enormous help to me personally while my father underwent cancer treatments. It’s an incredible resource for the small community and local hospital. You can also learn about the Quilt Project, and participate as a quilter, or purchase a memorial square.
