Joe Carr is part of Gillette’s

Generation CANJoe Carr is an excellent example of

what Gillette Children's Specialty

Healthcare calls “Generation

CAN.”The 16-year-old Richfield High

School junior is active on social

media, plays several sports,

continually cracks jokes and is a

generous fundraiser for Gillette.

Doctors at Gillette diagnosed Joe as

having spastic quadriplegic cerebral

palsy when he was 3 years old. Joe

and his family have a long history

with Gillette and credit the expert

medical care he’s received as one of

the reasons why he’s never put any

limits on what he can achieve.
