Bolingbrook Residents Leave Tributes to Breast Cancer Survivors, Lost Loved Ones

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 and hearing their stories.

You are welcome to share your stories of these special people with others in our community. You can even submit photo or video tributes of your loved one.

Here's how to submit a photo:

1. Make sure you're logged in to Patch.
2. Click on "Add your photos & videos" underneath the main photo in this story.
3. Upload photos or videos.
4. Write a caption.

You can also send your photos and videos to Local Editor Brian Feldt at brianf@patch.com. 

If photos and videos aren't your thing, you can always leave a comment below in memory of your loved one.
