But together, one day we can defeat it.”

They knew what they were doing posed a great danger to Mr. Perry, but they did it anyway,” Estrada said.

Stating that they wanted to honor the legacy of Perry, who said in his book about his addiction, “When I die, I don’t want the first thing people talk about to be ‘Friends’; I want the first thing people talk about to be helping others. and I’ll live the rest of my life proving that,” NPT said about the foundation, “The Matthew Perry Foundation is the realization of Matthew’s enduring commitment to helping others struggling with the disease of addiction. It will honor his legacy, be guided by his own words and experiences, and act with a passion to make a difference in as many lives as possible.”
