The Ultimate Way To Honor Breast Cancer Survivors This Month

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and in addition to sporting pink, we'll be celebrating breast cancer fighters and survivors in another heartfelt way: This month on Patch, we're inviting readers to share their breast cancer journeys.

Whether you tell us your own story, write words of encouragement to a loved one or honor someone you've lost to breast cancer, we want you to share your message in the spirit of raising awareness and showing others who are still battling the disease that they're not alone in their fight.

Email us at locallove@patch.com by Monday, October 22, to be considered for a feature on your Patch town's home page. Just be sure to include your name, hometown and a photo.

To learn more about breast cancer or how you can help, please visit The National Breast Cancer Foundation.

By sending us your photos, you give Patch the right to publish them along with your story.
