  Largest Awareness Ribbon - world record set by The Dykes Family            
  MUSKEGON, MI, USA -- Amy Dykes and her two daughters, Corinn and Reagan, remembered the 2nd anniversary of husband and father, Bryan Dykes’ death from cancer by creating a 219.5 foot purple ribbon
to raise money and awareness for cancer research and prevention - setting the new world record for the Largest Awareness Ribbon.

   The previous Guinness World Record for the Largest Awareness Ribbon was a 49 m (160 ft 9 in) tall ribbon set in the city of Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, India.

    “My daughter (Corinn) wanted to break a world record, so we went through the book (Guinness Book of World Records) and the longest awareness ribbon record really struck home,” explained Amy Dykes, whose husband died of esophageal cancer two years ago.

     “To honor his memory, the girls decided to break a Guinness record, raise money and awareness for cancer research and prevention,” said Dykes in a statement.

    Pictures were handled by Amy’s sister, Candice Young, who is a local photographer. And, Muskegon County Surveyor Stephen Vallier was on hand to provide the official measurements.

    The Muskegon Township fire department also supported the cause by providing a ladder truck to help with aerial photographs.

     “We beat the old record by 100 feet, and raised $1,000 for the ACS so far,” said Dykes.
