Kevin Robert Perry's ALS Fight

Dear Friends,

We are reaching out to let you know that we are kicking off a campaign to help support the Perry-Carlassare family as Kevin fights ALS/Lou Gehrig’s disease. We need your help!

Kevin was diagnosed with ALS on October 17, 2022. Kevin is trying hard to maintain his hope, courage, and strength in the face of this devastating disease. ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord and leads a person to lose the ability to walk, talk, and eventually breathe on their own. There is no cure.

Unfortunately, Kevin’s form of ALS is progressing incredibly quickly. In 6 months, he has gone from being able to play golf to not being able to walk and needing assistance with most daily tasks. At this point, he is unable to work or help his wife Andrea with the physical care of the family, including their daughter Ava who has Angelman Syndrome. Every day, there are new challenges to solve or new equipment to get… and the bills keep coming in. This is where we need your help.

We can’t cure Kevin, but we can help ease the financial burden and resultant stress that the family is facing. Today, we would like to ask you to help us raise money to help cover the medical expenses, supplies, and equipment not covered by insurance, as well as enabling the family to hire some additional caregiving help to take more of the burden off Andrea. Any amount you can spare will help. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
