I wore it one time and just never really got into it. I tried selling it on Ebay a few years ago and the winning bidder flaked out so I just kept it. Maybe some day one of my two boys will wear it.

Sharing some happiness with all of you guys. I wear a silicone bracelet with my Cousin Mark's name on it. I've traded in wearing my watch for this bracelet.

In 2007 My cousing Mark 33 was diagnosed with stage 4 Glioblastoma (brain cancer) After a multiple surgeries to remove the tumor along with a high dose of radiation. It was found in an MRI that the cancer had returned with multiple tumors. He was told the cancer was inoperable and could no longer receive radiation treatment.

Feeling he had nothing to loose from this so called death sentance. He signed up for a trial of a new brain cancer drug.. After only being on the trial drug for a month. Mark got an MRI done on December 22 2009 (week or so ago). The MRI showed that not only was the trial drug working.. It showed that all 8 of the tumors in his brain were gone! He is now into his second year. Surviving over 1 year is very slim. Now being into his second year is almost unheard of.

I'm getting the feeling I can soon blow the dust off my Breitling and thats a good thing.

Wearing a bracelet like that is a great reminder of others. You keep them constantly in mind and also are thankful for your own health.
