Know someone who's conquering -- or better yet has conquered -- cancer? So do we. That's why our sister publication, Northern Express, is delighted to announce a new annual tradition: the Conquering Cancer issue, coming up January 12. And here's the best part: the issue will include a ribbons page (or pages), each with a loved one's name on it. For just $20, anyone can purchase a ribbon with the name of a loved one who is facing cancer or has survived it. Every dollar of every ribbon purchased will go to the Munson Cancer Patient Needs Fund and the McLaren Northern Michigan Cancer Survivorship Program. Every single dollar.

We hope you'll consider placing a ribbon. It will commemorate and perhaps inspire someone, thousands will read it, and the $20 donation will go to very good causes right here in northern Michigan. Check out northernexpresshonors.com.
