Your Real Champion: Flower Power
Each week we highlight the #RealChampions in your life! Your family, friends, or colleagues who go the extra mile to help others in their community. For this week, Your Real Champion was Trisha Gallagher!
Trisha is “The Flower Lady” who has created a “flowering” circle around greater Philadelphia. Before a store discards day-old flowers, Trisha collects and delivers free bouquets to people who are sad, hurting, sick, anxious, addicted, homeless, or anyone in need of a little kindness.
