The Vindicator plans to honor breast cancer survivors during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.

We want to put a human face on this disease — to help those diagnosed with breast cancer by telling the stories of those who have battled, and to spotlight therapies and support that helped.

We also will honor the memories of those who lost their battle.

To share your story, or to honor someone and tell how they inspired you during struggles and triumph with breast cancer, send a brief description to Features Editor Dylan Bigelow at

dbigelow@tribtoday.com or Metro Editor Marly Reichert at mreichert@tribtoday.com, or by mail to 240 Franklin St. SE, Warren, OH 44483.

Include contact information.

Reporters will contact a few of the people suggested to be profiled in The Vindicator throughout October.
