which wrist do you wear your LiveSTRONG?

i dont know if there is a "correct" place for it... A friend of mine tried to put it on his ankle and broke it... so unless you've got small feet, i wouldnt suggest that.

I wear mine on my left, simply because i have my watch on my right, and its more comfortable on the other arm. I've also heard people saying that each time you take it off, someone dies of cancer. I'm not a big fan of that one, scare tactics shouldnt be why you wear a LIVEstrong bracelet, no matter which extremity you decide to wrap it around.

I wear it on the right. When I wear it. I wore it from the start of the Tour through October...I finally took it off... especially when I saw politicians wearing them and Wal-Mart coming out with LOVE HOPE CHARITY or whatever bands... I thought it sort of cheapened the whole idea of the band and what it stands for.... LIVING STRONG with CANCER...

Anyway, since my dad passed away, we've specified donations to LAF in lieu of flowers... (my dad was European... Luxembourg... and he LOVED the Tour... really admired Lance, and ultimately had cancer...) so it seemed appropriate. I've since put the band back on.... the RIGHT hand... I gave one to my mom, and interestingly, she has never taken it off... since the beginning of July... She's 77. I also bought one for my dad... and he refused to wear a "silly rubberband" on his arm.

I like the idea of the band as a show of support for cancer survivors... and that includes Lance... I don't like the band as a popular fashion statement or political ploy... (although I **DO** appreciate the fact that each person did have to make a donation to wind up with a band...)

So I'm not sure what my point is here.... but to answer the question... yes, I wear my Livestrong band on the RIGHT hand.

I wear mine around my forehead (like a headband).  It kinda cuts off the circulation somewhat and I pass out a couple of times a day but what the heck.   

I wear mine for a number of reasons -  I just like it, I think its kinda cool, I think its a great cause, I think Lance Armstrong is an amazing athlete, AND because KELPENG (from this site) was nice enough to send me one last July.  These are all personal to me and I'm sure many others wear them for different reasons. That might be interesting to hear, but really don't affect me OR why I wear mine.

Do ya really think Lance loses sleep thinking about WHY or WHERE people wear them?  I'm guessing its about SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (in order to do MORE research).  As someone said earlier in this thread, the important  thing is that the money was donated to the cause. 

Just my opinion, not trying to "argue" with someone who feels differently. 

During the TDF over the summer, I wore one on my left wrist with my watch. I never wore one when I worked out or raced because I dislike "feeling" my "jewelry", and have only worn it to one (running) race by accident. Then I began to wear it on my ankle because it bugged me to feel it bouncing around and sliding everywhere. I had some jackass ask me "ooooooo!! where did you get the Lance anklet?"   

But my most favorite place to have ever put one was on the hook of the suitcase of another pilot who survived testicular cancer. I was passing through in Raleigh and he asked me where I got "THE BRACELET". Within seconds I remembered that he was out of work for a while because of cancer, and tried to give him my bracelet since it was painfully obvious that he'd wanted one during our discussion. He refused it.....but the ensuing conversation with a few other people hanging around was very revealing and educational as they'd admitted to seeing them but didn't know what they were for.....I was glad that wearing it that day opened discussion about what it stood for, or what it may represent for other wearers (and not a fashion statement).

When he turned his back I slid the bracelet off of my wrist and hooked it onto his suitcase hook. His crew saw me do it and I motioned for them to "shhhhhh"....and ran off.
