At the 121st Boston Marathon, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society teamed up with Wellesley teamed up with Leukemia & Society, also known as Team in Training (TNT) for year number four and added in Wellesley’s own Geome software rollout. Marathon fans and passers-by gathered around the allure of savory burgers. The ‘TNT’ tent offered goodies and information on research and fundraising for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, based in Westchester County NY. The New England region is based here in Natick MA.

Visitors also had the chance to learn about the free iPhone application, Geome. It allows users to easily connect to essential components of their communities, including local organizations and government departments. The concept for "Wellesley, by Wellesley", a town-created mural and Geome’s first public initiative, was inspired by a movement known as placemaking. “Places are made by people, people are shaped by place…We hope the mural provides Wellesley locals a new way of visualizing the unique community they are a part of”, said Wellesley resident, Stacey Meeker, the founder of GEOME. You can take a look at Geome on www.geome.io

The public will have another opportunity to learn about Geome at the Wheels of Wellesley V on May 20. In the meantime, you can direct questions to [email protected].
