We’re all familiar with the high-profile pink ribbon campaigns for breast cancer research that were everywhere last month. But this audacious silver bracelet designed by Susan Fiedler for Vancouver’s Soul Flower Jewellery says it like it really is.
Inscribed in flowing script on each band are the fighting words: “fuck cancer.”
As well, instead of the mere pennies contributed from the sale of pink post-it-notes and other gew gaws, a whopping $50 from the sale of each F*Cancer bracelet (they’re $125 to $150 each) goes to InspireHealth, a national, not-for-profit cancer-care centre dedicated to battling the dreaded disease.
If they’re good enough for Sarah McLachlan and Michael Franti of Spearhead, they’re good enough for me.
