Share Your Stories for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

In a few days, the country will be going pink. Pink ribbons, that is.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month, when volunteers across the country honor those who are fighting the battle against the disease and try to raise awareness toward a cure for it.

The Riverhead Patch will be providing information about breast cancer, where to get involved, how you can help prevent the illness and stories of those who fight against it.

But Patch also want to hear from you. Are you or a loved one fighting breast cancer? Are you holding a fundraiser or joining an event this month to raise awareness? Do you have photos from a walk or raffle?
