Breast cancer silicone bracelet

Singer Melissa Etheridge was diagnosed with breast cancer this month. Because of early detection and treatment, her doctor believes her prognosis is good.

To help increase breast cancer awareness, Etheridge has given her support to the Pink Bracelet Fund. This new pink pride bracelet is inscribed with "Be Strong -- MLE" and the breast cancer awareness ribbon. Made of silicone and rubber, the bracelet is $5 and is available at www.thepinkbraceletfund.org. All proceeds will go to the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, a nonprofit group that seeks to prevent breast cancer through research and education.
