Orange Ribbons adjourn Downtown Seneca Light Posts

Fight like a tiger. That is the motto of a young Seneca boy battling cancer. In support of his fight, big orange ribbons now adjourn the downtown light posts of Ram Cat Alley. “We are trying to show our support for the business here, raise awareness and show our love and support for her and her kid because we are all thinking about them.” Orange ribbon organizer Dee Barns said this was a way for the downtown businesses to show support for Mary and Jason Tannery and their 2-year-old son Lachlan. “They started doing orange t-shirts and they all wear orange ribbons, so I thought what a better way to tie big orange bows and put them down the street to show that we are supporting that as a community.” In October, Lachlan underwent a bone marrow transplant to fight his rare form of juvenile leukemia. The Tannery family recently learned that Lachlan has relapsed. The community is encouraged to tie an orange ribbon around trees, mailboxes and anything you can think of to show support for Lachlan and bring awareness to juvenile leukemia. Mary Tannery owns Porta Portese inside Tannon Hall on Ram Cat Alley. Her mother, Evelyn Owen owns and operates Circa 1930, which is the restaurant next door.
