Friday, October 05, 2012 | 12:09 PM
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Olympic double silver-medalist Yohan Blake will lead Food For The Poor’s 5KWalk/Run in Deerfield, Florida.
The November 17th event is being staged to raise funds for food to feed poor families in Latin America and the Caribbean.
A donor has reportedly promised to match every dollar that’s been raised with a dollar’s worth of food.
Food For The Poor started in 1982 as a small feeding programme in Jamaica and has since grown to become the largest international relief organisation in Jamaica and the US.
