Posted @withregram • @semperfiandamericasfund Gratitude Alert! 🙌 Thanks to a generous $25,000 grant from the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, caregivers of veterans with paralysis enjoyed rejuvenating retreats and respite care for their loved ones. At the retreats, caregivers attended workshops, bonded, recharged, and found valuable resources and support.

“After the retreat, I texted our group that I came in as a stranger but left with a heart full of new families who know and understand each others’ battles.”

A Navy Petty Officer 1st Class spouse shared, "Getting away was a hard decision, but every second of the retreat was provided for. Without the donors, this wouldn't have been possible."

🌟 Let’s give a big thank you to the @reevefoundation for making these experiences possible! ❤️

The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation is proud to once again be a sponsor of the All Wheels Up Global Forum on Wheelchair Accessible Travel which brought together key influencers from around the world to address technology, studies and testing, training, legislation, advocacy and public policy to secure a wheelchair spot on commercial airplanes. Accessible air travel is a top priority of the Reeve Foundation. Everybody deserves to be treated with respect and dignity when traveling by air. It is time to end inequality in the skies.

Through one of our Reeve Foundation Quality of Life Grants, Beech Creek Botanical Gardens and Nature Preserve purchased an electric 7-passenger wheelchair-accessible golf cart, providing equitable opportunities to access the nature preserve and view their beautiful, on-site botanical garden.

The existing exhibit areas were wheelchair accessible, however, the distance between exhibits was not. This cart will bridge the gap between exhibits, making the entire outdoor recreational experience inclusive for all visitors living with paralysis and other disabilities.

Approximately 17,900 people sustain spinal cord injuries (SCIs) annually, with 14% resulting from violence, making SCIs profoundly life-altering, especially when caused by gun violence. Today’s White House announcement establishing an office dedicated to gun violence prevention signifies a monumental leap in advocacy, which will improve the quality of life for survivors.
