Vote for Ronni

Vote for Ronni !

I've known Ronni Gordon, features reporter for the (Springfield, MA) Republican for over 20 years. We first met when I was doing PR and marketing for StageWest, a local Equity theatre, and Ronni was assigned to write theatre features for the paper. When I morphed into a radio and newspaper arts reporter, we often covered the same plays. We've stayed friendly and frequently catch up over coffee at Starbucks.

Ronni has been fighting leukemia for since 2003. She recapped her experiences in a feature, "Running for My Life" for the New York Times Sunday magazine (April 3, 2005). She's continued recapping her ups and downs in a blog, "Running for My Life: Fighting Cancer One Step At a Time" subtitled
"Thoughts from a tennis nut and runner who ran right into leukemia".

Both are worth a read.
