Back on January 12, I posted a short entry about my colleague, journalist Ronni Gordon. Although sidelined from covering features and theatre for the Springfield (MA) Republican, she turned her
focus to chronicling her journey (as runner and tennis player) with leukemia.
She'd profiled her journey in the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/03/magazine/03LIVES.html?_r=1&n=Top%2FNews%2FHealth%
2FDiseases%2C%20Conditions%2C%20and%20Health%20Topics%2FLeukemia
She also keeps a daily blog, which just won the major award that I asked people to vote for last month: http://runnerwrites.blogspot.com/
The blog and her Facebook entries have been silent this last week. She's had some complications from a stem-cell transplant. On the plus side, her transplant seems to be taking. On the minus side, it's a tough journey.
Hopefully, those of you who know Ronni from work in the local media, and those who know Ronni merely through her writings, can summon up some good thoughts for her as she wages an incredible battle.
