Whether running, cycling, or volleyball is your sport, if you're living with a medical condition, it's important to play it smart and take precautions, like wearing a medical ID while you train or compete. Consider these facts: approx. 24 million Americans are living with diabetes, 15 million are living with asthma, 3 million are living with epilepsy, and more than 10 million are living with some form of cancer. Even if you're not facing one of these conditions, medical emergencies can occur at any time and you may not be in a position to tell medical personnel and care providers your name and contact information.

One alternative to the standard medical ID is a bracelet from Lauren's Hope. These simple, stylish options could save your life. The company offers interchangeable medical ID jewelry for men, women, and children, which options that include adjustable, waterproof sports bands; ankle bracelets; braided leather bracelets; and gorgeous stone and charm bracelets for women. You can customize your ID tag with your personal medical information, such as name, medical condition, allergies, and emergency contact numbers.
