As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, I’ve had the privilege of serving as publicist for Imerman Angels 1-on-1 cancer support organization since before its official inception. In fact, I was working at the Detroit Free Press when we first ran a story on Jonny Imerman in 2004; and that’s when my love affair with his mission first blossomed.

Many people here in Chicago would say that Jonny is the most effervescent, charismatic person in all of Chicagoland, and I would have to agree.  He and I recently had the privilege to work with someone who very much matches his level of compassion and contagious energy – Jane Monzures.

Check out her compelling story on WGN TV’s Living Healthy Chicago.  Jane is truly an “Angel” for helping us share our mission and help reach Cancer Fighters, Cancer Survivors and Cancer Caregivers.
