Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation

The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation advances research for spinal cord injury cures and improves life quality for people with paralysis. It funds scientific inquiry, from discovery to clinical application. It also provides support via its National Paralysis Resource Center, offering education, programs, and advocacy.

The Foundation's mission was shaped by actor Christopher Reeve and his wife, Dana Reeve. After Christopher Reeve's paralyzing injury in 1995, their personal experience highlighted the critical need for research and comprehensive paralysis support. This insight transformed the American Paralysis Association, focusing its commitment.

The Foundation serves individuals with paralysis, their families, and caregivers, providing vital information and peer support. Its vision is to cure spinal cord injury and empower all affected to lead fulfilling lives. The organization consistently advances this mission through strategic investments and community engagement.
