Patch Shines Pink Light on Breast Cancer Victims during Month of October

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 last 31 days ever October, we never forget.

In Patch communities all over the country, we want to help you pay tribute to your lost loved ones by publishing their photographs on Patch.com.  You are welcome to share your stories of these special people with others in your online community. You can even submit video tributes of your loved one.  

Submit a picture or a video with a short paragraph describing the photo by emailing Shelby-Utica Patch Editor Marina Cracchiolo.
