The livestrong bracelet was originally created as a method of fundraising for cancer with the original goal of achieving 25 million. Since 2004 when this bracelet took off it has successfully sold over 80 million copies and inspired countless other charities and organizations to create their own bracelet.
I see many people wearing livestrong and I often wonder if they know what it really means. Are they wearing it for a fashion fad, or to make a statement or is it truly a declaration that they do livestrong.
Well I guess to determine that we would first have to understand what LiveStrong meant. I looked around on the internet and the best I could come up with I found at wikipedia and it said it is meant to encourage people to live life to the fullest.
Now how on earth can a bracelet encourage you to live your life to the fullest with just one word? Frankly, I don't think it can. Unless you have the consititution to be living your life to the fullest and this serves as just a reminder to you and everyone else you are doing that. But to expect a bracelet to change our entire vision and start making us live life differently is crazy.
