"You can wear a rainbow, wear a rainbow..." *

Hopefully you've noticed the purposefully conspicuously-placed "WEARYELLOW :: LIVESTRONG" icon at the top of this page.

Please, if you haven't already, click on the image and learn why I wear Yellow.

I have come across other lovely and helpful colors to support cancer research and awareness. Take a look:

• The American Cancer Society® has an incredibly useful site with medical information, contacts for support, stories of hope and loss - you name it, they have it. They also carry wristbands; the sale of these items supports cancer research and awareness, naturally. And wearing them spreads the word. Here are my favorites:
  
  I am Strong
  
  Celebrate Hope
  They carry four other wristbands as well (specifically for breast cancer, colon cancer, living "smokefree" and a version in Spanish - Fuerza y Esperanza, which means "Strength and Hope").

• Another great site is provided by The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. This is the foundation that sponsors the famous Komen Race for the Cure®. They, too, have wristbands for sale:

  
  Sharing the Promise

• The Target® website (as in Super Target® - pronounced the snooty French way, of course) carries over thirty breast cancer awareness items (many available only online). Their wristbands, it seems, are temporarily out of stock.

  
  Share Beauty. Spread Hope.

  However, like I said, they still have a large selection of breast cancer awareness jewelry, t-shirts and other items.

• And don't forget the fantastic Lance Armstrong Foundation site and the classic wristbands:

  
  LIVESTRONG

I must ask one thing of anyone who wishes to purchase cancer support wristbands: Please ONLY buy from sources licensed by the society or charity that will benefit from the sale of the merchandise. Usually, this means you need to buy the bracelets directly from the websites for those societies or charities (whose url's, you'll notice, are all included in this entry). Myriad other websites sell these wristbands (and others) at a substantial mark-up. Not only is this disgusting and unethical (in my opinion), but it breaks the law in regards to the sale of charity merchandise. Come on - you DO NOT want to be a customer of one of the sites to which I've sent a very, VERY angry letter. Do you??? I didn't think so. Do not incur the wrath of THE ANGRY CONSUMER!!!

I'm considering that as my potential superhero title. Let me know what you think.

Okay, so that song rather stinks, but I couldn't get it out of my head (so I've given you all TUNE COOTIES!!!). Then again, I think it would make a lovely medley intermingled with Up, Up and Away [My beautiful balloon] and MacArthur Park. Holy Random Coincidences, Batman!!! Both of those songs were written by the same composer - the multi-talented Jimmy Webb. I can't seem to find who wrote that lovely kid's ballad, You can wear a rainbow! I say sing it with gusto as you walk down the street and shout, "Happy Upcoming Pride Day!"
