The A Team: Addie Lapinski and Adam Diehl

Addie Lapiniski is nine years old and battling cancer. Adam Diehl is fifteen years old and a competitive swimmer. You’re probably wondering what these two have in common with each other. Well, when Adam’s swimming practices were paused due to COVID, he set a new goal with his athletic abilities – he wanted to bear crawl for a mile to raise money for Addie. We talk with Adam to hear about the overwhelming response he’s been getting and when the bear crawl event is taking place. For more information about the event or to make a donation, visit Diehl’s GoFundMe page, “Crawling for Cancer.”

We also talk with Addie and her mother to find how Addie’s doing and what Adam’s fundraising effort means to them.
