Our Friend-Peter Hutton

Donation protected
Dear Loved Ones, Colleagues & Friends:

As you may or may not know, our loving father, husband, colleague and friend, Peter Hutton, was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) in May 2014. ALS, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. The disease is fatal, as muscle groups shut down over time leading to various health issues. To say the diagnosis was a challenge is an understatement. ALS is scary and unpredictable with limited, unproven treatment options and an average life span of 2-5 years post diagnosis. But if you know Peter, you know that he is a fighter, a fierce competitor and a true leader across all areas of his life. An example of his unwavering commitment to others can be seen in his drive to keep a full work schedule at AON until this past spring. 

While we tried our best to maintain a "normal" schedule, the time post diagnosis has been extremely difficult. Peter has faced a slow but steady decline in health. What started as slight muscle weakness in his right hand has progressed to significant mobility and speech issues. This has put extreme stress on him and our family as we struggle with the unpredictable nature of the disease and the immense costs along the way.

Most recently, Peter was admitted to the hospital and was found to have a minor pneumonia which has since progressed, landing him in the ICU. During this very painful time, many of you have reached out to us stressing concern and offering assistance. We are creating this page as a way to communicate about his condition and provide an opportunity for everyone to contribute and show their love and support for Peter. Contributions will be used to help with the various and ever-changing costs of ALS, including treatment plans, out of pocket medical bills, and at home accessibility equipment, to name a few. 

We truly believe that Peter is blessed and that a miracle is possible with your prayers and God's love. If Peter does recover, we will continue to support ALS research with the remaining proceeds. We continue our proactive search for treatment options as well as a cure for Peter and all ALS patients. We stand and pray in faith together as a family, and are thankful for all of you for standing with us - it means more to us than we could ever express. 

 Love,

The Hutton Family
