When you care more about cancer research than a co-worker who is a survivor?

Okay, what do you do in such a situation? I don't want to wear my Livestrong bracelet around him, since he is apathetic to the whole thing. Yet he went through a year beating cancer as well as it can be beaten.

Honestly, what you show and what you do are two different things.

If you're donating time, money and effort to research efforts, you're doing more than any yellow rubber bracelet could.

Wearing the bracelet, IMO, isn't going to make anybody think "Oh, damn - how could I have forgotten about cancer?" Any effect it has on others is going to be guilt-driven, and that's the wrong reason to support anything.

Wear the bracelet if it means something to you. A relative died of cancer, for example, and the bracelet is your way of remaining connected to them. Fantastic.

Wearing it to "show you care" doesn't serve any practical purpose, and is really the least of what you can do to aid the fight.

Just my two cents.
