ABOUT US
The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation is dedicated to curing spinal cord injury by advancing innovative research and improving the quality of life for individuals and families impacted by paralysis. Our mission can be summed up into four words, “Today’s Care. Tomorrow’s Cure.”
We are driven by the belief that every person with paralysis has a right to a life with dignity. Our work is emblazoned by the legacy of our founders Christopher and Dana Reeve, whose heroism, compassion and wisdom live on today. Christopher and Dana were hands-on, activist leaders, who rallied a swelling chorus of voices advocating for people living with paralysis. They recognized that the true heroes are the individuals and family members impacted by paralysis.
We envision a world where every individual living with paralysis is seen as the powerful and remarkable beings they are. Through our unique stories and shared strength, we strive to empower our community and eradicate stigma.
