I don't think you want to use the word ambitious. It means daring. At any rate, if the money goes to cancer research, what does it matter if you spend $1 or $10? You're doing good for a foundation and the more money, the better it is for cancer research.

I don't think 'ambitious' is the word you're looking for...lolI have a Livestrong bracelet. Two, actually. It's a simple and cost-efficient way to increase the awareness of cancer in our society. Yeah, some people buy them to be trendy, and some people buy them so that they can sell them for higher than the $1.00 price tag, but for the most part, those who wear it understand its significance. They are incredibly popular (I believe tens of millions have been sold), and I think that that's a good thing. It shows that we as a society know the risks that we face, and Lance Armstrong's story is one that we can all take to heart.I've seen the new 'Support Our Troops' bracelets and all the other ones that cover all the colors of the rainbow. I think they're an excellent idea. Just please don't immediately jump to conclusions when you see someone wearing one. Everyone knows someone who has had cancer at some point in their life. The least we can do is show that we understand the dangers those we love and ourselves face.
