Joe Carr is part of Gillette’s Generation CAN

Joe Carr is an excellent example of what Gillette Children's 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.
