Love Versus Cancer Resonates
Thanks to everyone who has shared what Love Versus Cancer means to them. Read some of the incredible comments we have received about the program - and the free wristbands:

"My best friend has been diagnosed with a brain tumor, she has started chemo. I would love to wear a bracelet to support her."
  
- Jessica P., Bentonville, AR


"My husband is a recent prostate cancer survivor. Anything you have that will help us make others aware is much appreciated. Cancer is real life, I know this now."
   -  Ann-Juline S., Madison, AL

"Thanks to all of the wonderful people at Fox Chase Cancer Center. I am in my second year of full remission from stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. I would be proud to wear this band because I know how true it is!"
   -  Liz R., Norristown, PA

"I can't wait for my wristbands to arrive in South Africa. My baby brother was diagnosed with a brain tumor at the age of 23. This is one battle we don't want to give up on. He is fighting hard for his life."
   -
Melody P., Cape Town, South Africa

"I would like a Love Versus Cancer wristband to support my grandma who was diagnosed with lung cancer and for my aunt who died of cancer. My mom was just told by her doctor that she has skin cancer. I want to wear the button and bracelet to support my family. I am 10 years old so I need a small."
   -  Li-el V., San Jose, CA


"I lost my dad to mesothelioma in September. There wasn't much medically that anyone could do for him . . . all we really had was the love of family and friends. Even people that we didn't know were praying for us. When it comes right down to it, that is all we have. That is what it is all about - loving each other."
   -
Wendy S., Easton, PA

"My grandma was just diagnosed with cancer and I think if we both wear them, it may help her stay strong."
   - Rebecca S., Kent, WA
