I am an avid WBT listener, fan of the personalities and supporter of much of the same stances, causes and local needs.
Some things are miles ahead of politics and sides, and generally those things are people. Keith Larson has enlightened us to a close friend of his named Marshall Giles, that is a 28 year old guitar player and landscape architect that is battling against cancer.
Local churches have arranged an executive meal to benefit and aid Marshal in his fight. For $15 and a reservation you can get a seat and help a cause for a local 28yr old man in need.
“Marshall Giles is a 28 year-old worship leader and member of Well of Hope Lutheran Church (The Well) in Charlotte/Pineville. Marshall was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Monocytic Leukemia (AML) on September 29, 2006. For the past five months he has been receiving ongoing chemotherapy treatments as he awaits news of a transplant. As with most individuals who suffer from leukemia, Marshall’s body and immune system have been weakened, making it impossible for him to return to work at this time. We are hoping that this will be an opportunity for us to come together and be a blessing for him and for one another, as we journey together in Christ, by grace through faith. Please share this invitation with people whom you know, and thank you in advance for your prayers, as well as your gracious and generous support. “
The dinners will be held at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church (Myers Park) and Christ the King Lutheran Church (Southwest Charlotte). Thrivent Financial will be matching each $1 that is donated with $.33 (with a maximum grant of $3000).
Read more here and pass the word of mouth to get more people interested in helping out a true local and personal cause.
Charlotte Critic has lived in Charlotte for 5 years. My backgroundis in Italian food, latin food and the restaurants of New York and Miami. I believe that value and large portion is as important as all other aspects of dining. I love a huge meatball sub as well as fine dining.
