2. Its one of those

"Livestrong" bracelets. Lance Armstrong's Cancer foundation made them; the dollar price goes to fight cancer. I've been seeing them all over the place.

7. Macho(NOT) Mountain Biker * has one as well

John Kerry wears one. President Bush has one, too. So do several celebrities.

It's the "Live Strong" yellow wristband produced by the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the cycling superstar's cancer-fighting organization.

Since the fund-raising effort began in May, the charity has sold 7 million of the rubber wristbands for $1 each, with plans for 1.8 million more. Nike donated the first $1 million, and proceeds go toward programs for young people with cancer.

Sales easily surpassed the $6 million the foundation initially hoped to raise. The wristbands can be purchased at http://www.wearyellow.com.
