Annual Melissa Edwards 5k Raises Money for Womelsdorf Community Library

Firm News,Uncategorized

On Saturday, April 23rd, Gregg and Richard Freeburn attended the Melissa Edwards 8^th Annual 5k Memorial Run/Walk. The annual event raises money for the Womelsdorf Community Library in honor of Melissa Edwards, a former library volunteer.

Melissa died tragically in a car accident on March 19, 2008. At the time of her death, Melissa was a Junior at Conrad Weiser High School, where she was a member of the Art club, and was an honor student. Melissa loved books and was an avid reader. She also loved serving as an volunteer at the Womelsdorf Community Library, participating in everything from Puppet Shows, to Storytime, to an Art Auction and a 5K Fun Run.

Freeburn Law has been a proud sponsor of Melissa’s 5k every year. She was a wonderful young lady, from a great family, and the proceeds go to a very worthy cause. We hope that you consider joining us next year in supporting the event as a participant, volunteer or sponsor.

At 70yrs. of age, I have never been in a car accident, nor have I ever had a moving violation! So, needless to say, that the trauma of being involved in an accident that I did not cause, where my car, (which was only 6mos. old) was totaled!) and I received 2 broken bones in my left ankle that warrented surgery…was nothing short of devastating! It’s been 9mos. and I’m still healing! But while I was in the ER, the only injury attorney’s name and number that came to my mind was Freeburn and the 7’s! Well, in came Ryan McDaniels, and ever since that initial encounter at my home, I was thoroughly convinced that the Lord had orchestrated it! This young man’s demeanor, personality, and integrity was awesome! He kept me well informed and I trusted him emphatically! Not only him, but everyone in their office, showed me the utmost respect and courtesies! I would, without any reservations, refer anyone who asked me, to this firm! They made for me a wonderful experience from the most devastatingly, traumatic situation I’ve ever had! Definitely 2 thumbs up!
