The
Gold Ribbon
The symbol for childhood cancer
The
Childhood Cancer Gold Ribbon has become the unifying
symbol for childhood cancer awareness,
symbolizing
the precious nature of all children and the golden flame
of hope that burns brightly for
childhood cancer patients, survivors, families and
caregivers. As a mother of one young patient said,
"Our
children are our gold. and we should honor them."
The
Childhood Cancer Gold Ribbon was created by Gigi Thorsen
in 1997, in honor of her daughter,
Kelsey
(1989-1996).
The
Childhood Cancer Gold Ribbon has become the unifying
emblem for all who are dedicated to advancing research,
comprehensive treatment, advocacy, emotional and
supportive care and follow up to benefit children and
adolescents with cancer and their families.
