PHOTOS: We Remember Those Who Battled 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.

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 our online community. You can even submit video tributes of your loved one.

To upload pictures of your loved ones, sign into Patch and click on "Add Your Photos + Video" in the lower right hand of the existing photos. Choose a photo or video from your computer to upload to our gallery. Make sure to add a caption sharing the name of those in the photo, their story or your memories of them.

To share a longer story, or if your having difficulties uploading a photo, email editor Sara Walsh at sara-megan.walsh@patch.com.
