The mother and son came to tell a story of strength and survival. Why gold?

"Children are precious, just like gold is," Carolyn Anderson told radio host Leisha Grebinski.

It was July of 2013 when things started to go bad for Micah. He was feeling nauseous most daysand suffered from regular headaches. Carolyn Anderson felt strongly that there was something seriously wrong with her sonand was persistent with the doctors.

That persistence led to an MRI testand some terrible news. Micah had a brain tumourand would have to be admitted to hospital immediately.

Today, with his cancer in remission, Micah Anderson credits not only the medical care he received, butalso his faith.

"Believe in Jesus. I believe he's the one who helped me through everything," he said.

Now, mother and son are teaming up, working together to try and raise awareness about a problem they see in the health care system.

"Most of the treatment is primarily focussed on adults," said Carolyn Anderson.

That's why she helped organize an awareness walk this Sunday in Saskatoon. It will begin at 1 and will be followed with story sharing and entertainment at River Landing.

Carolyn and Micah will be there, dressed in gold.
