USAToday has an article today about sales of the LiveStrong bands approaching 50 million units.

This Tuesday (May 17th) will be the one year anniversary of when the LiveStrong campaign launched. You can read my post from May 17, 2004, the day the bands 'officialy' lauched. Pre-orders for the yellow bands were being taken starting on May 6th of 2004.

The USAToday article puts the sales numbers in perspective. 50 million?

That's one for every six Americans or the entire populations of New York, Florida and Illinois.

Update: I put together a LiveStrong sales timeline
