ROYAL OAK, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) – In the closing days of August, you’ll find gold ribbons tied on many trees across Corewell Health’s campus in Royal Oak to kick off Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September.
“Children are pure gold,” says Lisa Muma, who coordinates the annual ribbon tying.
According to the CDC, cancer is a leading cause of death among all age groups of children.
“Tying gold ribbons is one of the ways we can support and honor our children and their families,” says Muma.
Living with and beating cancer is a story one volunteer at Sunday’s ribbon tying knows all too well.
