Once known around the world as Superman, Christopher Reeve became a true symbol of strength and resilience after a tragic accident in 1995 left him paralyzed from the neck down. Rather than retreat from the public eye, Reeve transformed his adversity into a powerful mission—advocating for spinal cord injury research and championing the rights of people with disabilities.
Through the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, he became a leading voice for change, working to improve access to medical care, technology, and independence for millions. His unwavering determination sparked national conversations about inclusion, accessibility, and what it truly means to be a hero.
In this video, we reflect on Christopher Reeve's extraordinary journey—his advocacy, public speaking, directing, and continued impact long after his acting career. His famous words still echo:
"A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles."
Reeve's story reminds us that disability isn't the end—it's the beginning of a new chapter filled with hope, purpose, and lasting legacy. 🌟
