Good morning, Worcester.

On June 26th, state legislators nominated 125 women as Commonwealth Heroines during a ceremony at Gardner Auditorium at the State House.

Dr. Lisa Bienia Kenton from Sturbridge is training to run 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents in the Great World Race starting November 12 in Cape Town while balancing her work as an ER doctor and her busy family life to raise money for the Malan Syndrome Foundation — a charity for a rare genetic disorder affecting her niece and nephew.
