The gold ribbon is the official ribbon of children with cancer worldwide, supported, recognised and promoted by hundreds of organisations and treatment centres related to childhood cancer. It was inspired by the life of Kelsey Nicole Thorsen, 1989~1996.Originally posted by Dango:what's the value added of wearing the pin? just wondering
Internationally, the gold ribbon represents children with cancer in these and other ways:
- It is a precious metal, as our children are precious;
- It is the purity of our childrenÂ’s hearts;
- It is the flame of hope.
To us, the gold ribbon also represents the strength of our children and their families who have fought a brave battle with childhood cancer. This source of strength is “cast” from the support of many people who have contributed in their various capacities: the medical team, our social workers, sponsors and donors, volunteers and schools.
