Raylee's gold ribbin for the Awareness Tree at "Light Up The Holidays with Hope" which will be held Saturday, 12/3/11 in Washington DC.
Local high school students in the Washington DC area volunteer their time to make all of the gold ribbons for the Tree. The tree is covered with thousands of gold ribbons which bear the name of a child with cancer.
"Every year, a 23-foot tree is erected in the Old Post Office Pavilion in Washington D.C.. This tree is decorated solely with gold ribbons, the symbol for childhood cancer. Each ribbon bears the name of a child who has or has had cancer, and families from across the nation send in their children's names to be part of the tree. This is a powerful symbol that is seen by thousands of people every year.
Passersby are touched by the sheer volume of ribbons and names."
Once this event is complete and tree is taken down the ribbon bearing Raylee's name will be mailed to her.
Introducing Raylee and Jorja.....sisters! Raylee is our cancer baby and Jorja is her sister's keeper.
