Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation

The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation is dedicated to developing real-world treatments for people living with spinal cord injury (SCI) and paralysis.

In 2002, the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation National Paralysis Resource Center (NPRC) opened its doors with the leadership and vision of Dana Reeve. Through the NPRC, we offer a free, comprehensive, national source of informational support for people living with paralysis and their caregivers. Our primary goals are to foster involvement in the community, promote health and improve quality of life for those living with or impacted by paralysis. #TodaysCare

Together, we can create a future where people with SCI can access the therapies they need, not in decades but in the here and now. We invite you to join us in making this vision a reality.

If you happen to need a good cry, you can’t go wrong with “Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story,” a documentary about decent people, bewildering misfortune and how bad luck can have a ripple effect—especially if you are lucky enough to have people who love you. If you don’t want to cry, you probably will. | The Wall Street Journal

Click here to start the survey: https://lnkd.in/eWVd72tF The survey seeks to identify what topics and public policy issue areas are most important to you related to living with paralysis and/or supporting loved ones or clients with paralysis. Your feedback will help our public policy team determine what policy priorities the foundation will focus on as we look to 2025. Your experience is very important to us, and we want to hear from you! It shouldn't take more than five minutes to complete. Submissions close December 12. Thank you in advance for your participation.

It is the hope of the Reeve family, our Foundation, and the entire community to which we serve, that this documentary leads to important discussions about disability.
