As mentioned in a previous post, the Guardians of the Ribbon, Northern Illinois Chapter, made a trip on Sunday to escort a young cancer patient to a local restaurant where a fund raiser was being held on her behalf.

Larry Shapiro went to Wauconda to photograph Lily’s arrival at Lindy’s Landing where upwards of 50 people were there to greet her.

Lily and her sister were treated to a ride in this American LaFrance Century Series engine that was formerly owned by the South Elgin Fire Department. Larry Shapiro photo

Each piece of apparatus throughout the country used by the Guardians of the Ribbon is named in honor of a cancer patient. "Jessica" is named in honor of a young adult with cancer. The engine is covered with notes, names, and thoughts of those touched one way or another by the disease. Larry Shapiro
