Peter's ALS Journey (The Terrizzi Family)

On September 7, 2021, my amazing husband Peter Terrizzi got the news that would shake our family to the core. He was diagnosed with ALS. (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) or Lou Gehrig’s disease. Our world was spinning.

We are active residents of the town of Middleboro, with 2 children: Sophia, 12, and Anthony, 7. We love attending all the kids’ events, Baseball, Girl Scouts, and School events as well as family outings. Peter is a wonderful father and husband. He is also an incredible musician. He is now teaching the love of music to our talented children.

Peter is no longer able to work. He had been a principal platform architect. Peter had worked in the computer technology field for over 25 years. I (his wife, Kate) am his primary 24-hour caregiver. Peter just got his new custom wheelchair. We will need to buy a wheelchair van as soon as possible so we can do all the things Peter loves to do with us as a family and get him to his important doctor’s appointments. There is so much expensive equipment needed to make Peter's life easier, more enjoyable and to feel more included in our children’s lives and all the events. That is why we have started this go fund me.

All donations are greatly appreciated through this go fund me and through venmo (@Kaitlyn-Terrizzi). No amount is too small. We ask that you please share this with your friends and family. Thank you for helping us reach our goal.
