Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Time to Remember

Has breast cancer touched your life in some way? We want to hear from you.

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.

We want to help you pay tribute to your lost loved ones by publishing their photographs on Buffalo Grove Patch. 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.
