My Great Strides Story
William Lapenas
Fundraising for Charlotte Great Strides 2026
William Lapenas
Hi and welcome to my first ever fundraising page!
My name is William and I was born with cystic fibrosis. That sounds scary, but because of really amazing doctors, scientists, geneticists and medicines, I've been able to live a happy life and do all the baby stuff I love to do.
I'm doing this walk to help raise money so that other babies, kids, and adults with cystic fibrosis can have the same chance I do. The research you are helping to fund makes a huge difference and it helps kids like me breathe easier and dream bigger.
Thank you for supporting me, for caring, and for helping make the future even brighter for kids with CF. Every step and donation means so very much.
What is CF?
CF is a genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. CF makes it difficult to breathe, digest fats, and fight off infection.
Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently. While progress has been made, a long road lies ahead for far too many people fighting this terrible disease.
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
By donating to my fundraising goal, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward – a cure for everyone with CF.
Sincerely,
William Everett
