Nearly 20 years after losing her mother to breast cancer, Erin Hachwi, a mother of two, was shocked to receive the same diagnosis. Now, she's honoring her mothers fight by sharing her story of survival in the hopes other women will prioritize mammograms and screenings.

There are more than 50 different ribbons representing various forms of cancer--here's what they mean.

In honor of world cancer day, WSLS is inviting you to share your story too through Pin it. We want to recognize survivors and those still fighting while remembering those we have lost.
