During Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October,  Lite Rock 96.9 WFPG wants to honor those in South Jersey who are making the breast cancer journey, by sharing photos and stories of you or someone you love affected by breast cancer.

The American Cancer Society shares these stats concerning breast cancer...

1 in 8 women, or 12 percent, will get breast cancer sometime in their lives. For many women, it won't occur until they're an advanced age.

266,120 new cases of breast cancer in U.S. women are predicted this year by the American Cancer Society.

40,920 women will die of breast cancer in 2018, the ACS predicts; it's the second-leading cause of cancer death among women, behind lung cancer. Still, only 1 in 38 American women will die of breast cancer — 2.6 percent.

We would love to see your breast cancer "Photo of Hope". Submit your photo of a South Jersey breast cancer survivor to us now....
