October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.  I'm sure we all know someone, be it relative or friend, who has had a scare, a fight, or a concern about breast cancer.  We support you ladies and will help where we can!  These bracelets are the same 7 strand paracord that all the Survival Bracelets are made from, even has the same 5/8" curved buckle for comfort.  So your not only supporting a fantastic cause, you have a survival item on you!  A Survival Bracelet for survivors, fitting.  These will be $12 with part of the proceedes going to breast cancer research. 

  The small "friendship" knot works great as a supporting addition to your keychain, a jacket zipper, your daughters book bag, where ever you can think of.  They will be $3 with 50% going to research.  More pics in the gallery.

My friend Tim was diagnosed with leukemia 11 years ago.  Thanks to the advent of new technology and advances in medical research, Tim is still with us after being orginally given only five years to live.  Two years ago, he underwent bone marrow transplant surgery and is doing very well.  At one time, the success rate was around 60%, and today it's now above 80% with the advances made in medicine. This is the time of year where Tim and his family do a fundraising activity called "Light The Night Walk" for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society does a great job of helping out patients and their families while they're going through transplant, as well as investing in research into cures as well.

Tim and his family usually solicit donations from friends, family, and other well wishers so that even more advances can be made so that others might enjoy the same kind of success with their own treatments.  But, this year Tim is doing something a little different with us.  If you'd rather have something to show for your money, Scott's Knots is selling their Leukemia and Lymphoma Survival Bracelet for the sole purpose of splitting the proceeds with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  So, in this case, "Survival Bracelet" takes on dual meanings.  Besides being a ready resource for cordage that's "on hand" at all times while you're out in the woods, it will also mark the contribution you made to help someone else with their own battle for survival.
