October Turns a Pink Spotlight on Breast Cancer

This is an opportunity to share memories of friends and family members lost to breast cancer.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month turns a pink spotlight on our health. For some of us, it’s a reminder to schedule a mammogram. For others, it’s a chance to join an event that raises money for research or celebrates the survivors in our communities.

For those who have lost a loved one to breast cancer, we honor them with races, with luminaries, with moments of silence. Though Breast Cancer Awareness Month lasts only 31 days, we never forget.

You are welcome to share your stories of these special people with others in our online community. You can even submit video tributes of your loved one. Simply go to the photo section and click on manage photos and videos. Once you click on it, you can go to add photos and videos. Just upload any photos you want to add and include a title and message.
