Carroll Gardener Larry is part of a team of 40 runners who will be participating in this fall's New York City Marathon as part of Team Meals-On-Wheels. He has asked me to spread the word about his fund-raising effort for this worthwhile charity. He writes:

I have been a New Yorker for the last 10 years and a Carroll Gardener for the last 6 years. I am looking for your support for this great charity named "Citymeals-on-Wheels." As you may know it is 28 years old local charity that provides meal to the homebound elderly. 100% of your gift to Citymeals-on-Wheels will be used for the preparation and delivery of meals. I am running the NYC Marathon next November raising funds for them, supporting a very active New York City charity. Please support the initiative by donating online at the following site:

www.citymeals.org/supportlarry

100% of the donations goes directly the meals provided.
Donations are fully tax deductible.

Do not hesitate to spread the word :)

Larry

So, dear Reader, lets all help a fellow neighbor reach his fundraising goal!
