WGP Keeps Partner’s Memory Alive at Colon Cancer Coalition Walk
By: devweb
Philadelphia – May 31, 2019 – Attorneys and staff from Greenblatt, Pierce, Funt and Flores, LLC (WGP) recently joined cancer survivors and supporters at the 2019 Philadelphia “Get Your Rear in Gear” run/walk. The event is an annual tradition for the WGP family to honor firm namesake Margaret M. “Meg” Flores, who died in 2014 from colon cancer. The firm’s team is aptly named “Legs4Meg.”
“Meg was a brilliant attorney and a constant source of inspiration to us all,” said Managing Partner Ronald L. Greenblatt. “We march each year to honor Meg’s strength and love as an attorney, a mother and someone who valiantly fought this disease as hard as she fought for justice. We will continue to march to keep her memory alive.”
The four-mile run/two-mile walk and kids’ fun run took place at Memorial Hall/Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia. The event raises funds for the Colon Cancer Coalition, a nonprofit that provides funds to increase colon cancer screenings and save lives. Colon cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer, and the second leading cause of death in the U.S., according to the Colon Cancer Coalition. With regular screenings and early detection, colon cancer is preventable and treatable, notes the organization.
Founded 23 years ago as an aggressive criminal defense law practice, Greenblatt, Pierce, Funt and Flores, LLC has grown into a full-service law firm offering individuals assistance in virtually all areas of criminal, employment, personal injury, civil rights, and family law. The firm has three offices in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Visit gpffstaging.wpengine.com for more information.
