TRIBUNE CHRONICLE PLANS TO HONOR BREAST CANCER SURVIVORS: The Tribune Chronicle again this year wishes to share stories of local breast cancer survivors during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.
The idea is to put a human face on this disease, to help those diagnosed by hearing voices of those who have experienced the journey, 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 Burton Cole at bcole@tribtoday.com or Metro Editor Marly Reichert at mreichert@tribtoday.com, or by mail to 240 Franklin St. SE, Warren 44483. Include contact information.
Reporters will contact a few of the people suggested to be profiled in Tribune Chronicle publications throughout October.
