In 2018, Fergus Farrell sustained a spinal cord injury and was told he had just a 5% chance of walking again. He defied those odds—and now he’s taking on an incredible 3,000-mile journey from Brooklyn to Santa Monica to raise awareness and funds for people living with spinal cord injury.
Through Fergus Walks, every step is helping shine a light on resilience, possibility, and the journey toward a world where spinal cord injury doesn’t result in paralysis.

Our Digital Director, Julie, met up with @iamfergusfarrell walking through Pennsylvania this afternoon and snapped this selfie!
Fergus Farrell sustained a spinal cord injury in 2018 and was told he had only a 5% chance of ever walking again. But he defied those odds, regained his mobility and has taken on athletic adventures to raise awareness.
Over the next few months, Fergus will walk 3.000 miles/4,500 kilometers from Brooklyn, New York, to Santa Monica, California, inspiring communities across the country while shining a light on the realities and possibilities of life after spinal cord injury.
Our Fergus Walks campaign is raising vital funds and awareness for the @reevefoundation and @spinalinjuriesireland
Fergus hopes every step across America will shine a light on the resilience of people living with spinal cord injury while helping transform the lives of others.
The Reeve Foundation champions Today`s Care. Tomorrow`s Cure., a world where spinal cord injury doesn`t result in paralysis, and paralysis does not result in diminished quality of life.

Congratulations to Reeve’s Anna Holly, Information Specialist Coordinator and, now, published author!
“As a little girl growing up with a spinal cord injury, I always dreamed of writing a book. Reading was my escape and my passion. But it wasn’t until I became a mom that the spark truly caught fire—inspiring me to write my very first children’s book, “Our Mom Can.” 📖✨
Working here at the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation as an Information Specialist Coordinator, I see every day how powerful representation, connection, and community truly are. I wrote this book to showcase disability inclusion through reading and to bring joy to disabled moms and children who deserve to see their stories reflected on the page. I can’t wait for you all to read it!” 💙
