Paddleball in memory of William Grenier
November 28, 2021
In November 28, 2021 this group of friends got together in Philadelphia, PA to play paddleball in memory of William Grenier. While the Greniers live permanently in Charlotte, NC, they had to spend 9 months in Philadelphia away from home, family, and friends while William was hospitalized at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).
The friends they made while there wanted to honor William’s life and the Greniers’ journey by donating to WARD’S Foundation to support other families going through a difficult rare disease journey.
