That's an excellent question that I don't have the answer to either. On one site the bracelet is red, on another site the bracelet is a teal blue. The ribbon that I have seen the most often is a red and white stripe. Confusing, much?? I have seen beaded versions of bracelets/necklaces, but I have not seen leather. Most "awareness" sites don't even have a category for Head and Neck Cancer or Oral Cancer. My husband wore a Livestrong bracelet from the day of his first surgery until the day he died.
