More than 28 million people are suffering with cancer and nearly eight million will die this year. Lance Armstrong foundation (LAF) was set up to help people suffering from cancer. This foundation was set up 10 years ago. Lance Armstrong suffered and survived testicular cancer that had spread to his brain. It is because of this that, with his fortitude and direction, live strong wristbands has taken off like gangbusters.

Lance Armstrong introduced "live strong" wristband to support people suffering from cancer. This band is yellow in color which was launched in May 2004 to raise funds for Lance Armstrong foundation. Nike joined with Lance Armstrong to create live strong wristbands to raise awareness and support for cancer sufferers around the world. This foundation was founded by cyclist and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong. Wristbands were sold to raise money for cancer research, raise cancer awareness and encourage people to live life to the fullest. Lance Armstrong wristband became famous in 2004 due to Armstrong’s Tour de France effort. Certain famous personalities like John Kerry, Katie Couric and Matt Damon wore the band. Endorsements in TV shows increased awareness among people. This kind of wristband has inspired many other organizations for charities and various political causes. By buying this cancer wristband you are helping to keep up the fight against cancer and help sufferers around the world. Each band is made up of 100% synthetic rubber and has live strong engraved into the outer skin of the band.

Cancer affects us in one way or another. Either we will be stricken or someone we know will. This disease is considered a universal issue, one that infuses entire communities with compassion and empathy, and inspires charity efforts on a widespread scale. Research funding is very important to keep research alive and moving forward. Research requires money. Not just a little money, a lot of money. Lance Armstrong, being a cancer survivor himself, found himself in the unique position of being able to make a huge difference in a cause that is near and dear to his heart. Money raised from yellow bracelets goes directly to funding cancer research, but they represent an attitude of live strong and empowered.

Many people are confused as to why yellow color is chosen for this cause. The reason is it is the color of Tour de France’s leader jersey. Yellow has always been a symbol of hope. Consider also, the song “Tie a Yellow Ribbon” and its sweet message. Wear your wristband wherever you go and tell people what it is and what it means to you. Encourage them to make a difference also. Let the wristband make a difference in your own life as well. You can make a difference.

Surgery may be necessary in order to correct any number of foot injuries or deformities. A podiatrist may deem surgery necessary for conditions as varied as bunions, chronic ingrown toenails, hammertoe or a broken ankle. No matter the reason your feet need to go “under the knife”, foot surgery is something to prepare for. Keep these simple tips in mind before and after your surgery.

• You are probably going to need to stay off of your feet for a couple of days. Most surgeries require about 48 hours of solid rest for your feet. Plan in advance so that you can take time off work, especially if your job requires you to be in your feet. Arrange for a friend or family member to drive you wherever you may need to go and to help you with basic household chores such as cooking and shopping.

• Most podiatrists will give you an orthopedic shoe to wear after your surgery. Be sure to wear it! If your podiatrist doesn’t give you an orthopedic shoe, be sure to wear shoes that properly protect your feet. Avoid shoes that are too tight or that put pressure on your injury. Look for shoes with wide and deep toe boxes, or wear sturdy sandals inside the house that protect your feet while allowing them to breathe.

• Elevate your foot to reduce swelling. Try to get your foot to the level of your chest. Use a pillow or padding to make sure that your ankle is comfortable.

• Ice your foot to reduce swelling. The common rule is to ice your foot for 30 minutes and then give it a 30 minute break. Crushed ice works better than cubed ice.

• Keep your bandages clean and dry. This means keeping your injured foot out of the shower or bath. You may need assistance. Some people find it helpful to place a rubber stool in the shower (be sure it grips firmly to the bottom of the tub). Sit on the stool while keeping your foot outside the bathtub. If your bandages come off, or if you notice abnormal bleeding or discharge, call your podiatrist immediately.

Whether you are undergoing major bunion surgery or having an ingrown toenail removed, take it easy after your surgery! Rushing recovery will only promote complications in the future. You should be able to make your way around your house with little long-term consequences. But stay off the foot as much as possible! Too much pressure, too soon could mean another foot surgery in the future.
