Tonight's special guest is Al Perry who is a husband, father, and friend living in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His life is filled with family, joy, and a touch of chaos, a backyard basketball net, five bikes in the shed, and a badass minivan in the driveway.  He is a business owner, a leader in his field, and a passionate volunteer for causes close to his heart.

But that's only part of his story. He is also one of the one in six men who have experienced sexual abuse. He survived seven years of childhood molestation.

For years, He buried this truth and built a good life, quietly carrying the weight of pain and struggle on an island alone.

Twelve years ago, his world began to unravel when his eldest daughter turned six, the same age he was when his abuse began. 

Her innocence forced him to confront the magnitude of what he'd lost. Overwhelmed with fear, sorrow, and anger, he realized he had to fight, not just for her, but for himself too.

Through therapy, reflection, and hard work, he has learned to embrace the journey. His daughter became his bridge to healing, helping him rediscover his worth and purpose. Facing his trauma head-on has made him stronger, and each day he strives to grow one percent better.

Today, he mentors men and women with similar stories, helping them find hope and reclaim their light. His mission is to end the cycle of abuse, protect future generations, and empower survivors to heal and thrive.

He has turned his pain into purpose and his struggle into strength. He is The Sunrise Warrior, and his light will never be extinguished.
