Breast Cancer Survivors,

Would you like to share your personal story with Women’s Journal Readers?

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. The October/November issue of the Women’s Journal will feature stories of local breast cancer survivors.  Your story will appear on our website and as many as possible will also appear in the Anne Arundel, Carroll, Howard, or Montgomery print edition of our publications. In addition, a group portrait of all survivors will appear on the cover of your local edition.

Here’s how to share your story with us:

1)  Write your story as a Word document, 500 words or less

2)   Include your name and contact information (phone, address, email address)

3)  Email it to us at womensjournal@comcast.net (as an attachment) by September 10, 2010.

4)  Attach a professional quality photo of yourself. The photo must be high resolution – 300 dpi

5)  Join other breast cancer survivors for a group portrait (wear pink!) to be taken on or around September 15—more details to follow.

Thank you for sharing your story.  We are sure our readers throughout Maryland will benefit from learning about your personal journey and triumph over this dreaded disease.
